This type velocity stacks was produced for me by Moon Equipment at my
request and they did a nice job of retaining the standoff of the carburetors
with a big overlap camshaft and did make more power for the engine on the
dyno and that showed up on the track.. The longer over- run of the outer
lip proved significant. It cost a lot more for me to do it then than it does
now.
