[Tigers] Best Carburetor

[Buck Trippel]

It's probably a good time to remember that the CFM ratings on two barrels 
are measured using different criteria than used for quads.

A 500 CFM two barrel does not flow as much as a 500 CFM 4-barrel. The 500 
CFM two barrel would flow about the same as a 360 CFM four barrel.
