nah worked at ford for 8 years, 8 wasted years as a tech. Never will I work for anyone but myself from here on out. Dealership is great if you are really good with the service manager who dispatches the work, if not you get stuck with warranty work that doesnt pay. 1000 dollars a week, what are ya gonna do with that nowadays?

go with the carb then do duel 4 barrels and add a extra fuel line.
make the fuel lines go to each carb
you will gain like 100-150 extra hp with only a little fuel economy lost
