Well we ran my motor today with a single 35mm pwk, and with a set of dual mikuni tm 28mm's bored to 30mm. Motor was ran on a land and sea crank dyno.
Motor is a dynoport ported 350 (186 degree exhaust duration), pro circuit pipes, v-force reeds, wiseco pistons, 175 psi compression.
Single carb shined at under 6800 rpm. At 6500 rpm, it was making 2 more hp than the dual carbs. Soon after 7k rpm, the dual carbs came on hard. Ultimately at peak rpm of 8250, it made 62.71hp with the single. Roughly it held torque at 41 ft lbs-42.5 ft lbs from 6900 rpm to 8000 rpm.
The duals as said started pushing hard after 6900 rpm. Peak was 66.78 hp at 8650 rpm. The torque curve or torque backup maintained 42 ft lbs-42.5 ft lbs from about 7250 rpm- 8150 rpm.
V-force reeds on a 9k rpm motor are a joke. Stock cages, boots, with stock boost bottle, and carbon tech mid reeds made 2 more peak hp than the v-force reeds did.
Best timing ended up at +5.
And for the guys who are putting humongous singles on, the 35mm pwk on my bike made .3 hp less at 7/8 throttle than at wide open. This indicates that the 35mm carb is borderline too big for a 350 that revs to 9k rpm.
So, 2 into 1 makes better lowend power and has better throttle response. Dual carbs pull more rpm and make more peak hp. So obviously trail, play, and mx guys could benefit from a 2 into 1 setup. Drag racers, hill shooters, and high speed riders can benefit from dual carbs and the extra rpm/hp they pull from the motor.
Single pwk 35mm guys, Perfect jetting on my bike with max power was 195 main, eej needle, 2nd clip positon from the top.
