Using one carb per cylinder allows for very short, and straight, intake tracks. This means that a high velocity is maintained and there is less time forfuel to condense out of the vapor. Another good argument for multi-carbs is that all the intake tracks are of equal length thus equalizing response across the cylinders. Furthermore, since they are seperate systems, a balanced charge is present at all cylinders. All of this is negated by improper card syncron- izing. There have been several (many?) succesful designs using only one carb. The single carb setup is usualy used in conjunction with a turbocharger because it simplifies the turbo-to-carb plumbing.
