I have a really nice Smokey Ram that we restored and ran in a dyno test at Car Craft on a 350. I don't recall all the numbers, but it made very good mid-range torque and ran surprisingly well compared to a modern dual-plane. Maybe somebody can dig it up on cc.com if it's posted. Just sitting on a shelft now, but it is a cool piece.

I'll post some pictures of the manifold installed on the engine when it's done. That thing is so cool.

King Matt, I remember the article. They said an Edelbrock cross ram worked poorly, the was gasoline vapor floating above the carbs because of reversion. I'm guessing anything Smokey designed worked well.
