on what would be the usual impact of a dual-carb setup, (SUšs, for example)
over a single Strom. Better acceleration out of the box? Higher top end?
The airspeed of a European swallow?

Well you'll end up with a better breathing, higher top end similar to the
european spec 1500. The single Stromberg tends to strangle the engine
around 4000 RPM. Done properly you WILL notice the difference - but getting
it smogged may be another story! You may even be able to catch up to a
European swallow - but I'll leave that determination up to the rest of the
list :-)
