Did the Chevelle run harder when your dad had the tunnel ram or did the single holley work better?. Is the chevelle still around?, kinda new at posting around here.

the car ran better with the single 4. he didnt have enough cam for it. he ran Unit Stock back then which required them to use stock type cams. yes the car is still around. now owned by Chris Short.
