My thought was that the dual 2 barrels would even out the fuel distribution more than one center mounted four barrel. Maybe wrong there, as I never studied air flow dynamics etc.
Yes, no, maybe.
Yes, that's why all modern engines have one injector per cylinder; sometimes actually in the cylinder. That insures perfectly even distribution.
No, at the lazy RPMs the Packard eights turn, fuel distribution is not really a critical issue.
Maybe, define your goals:
1. Just want an interesting project?
2. Just want some bling under the hood at a show?
3. Want the highest horsepower possible from the I8? If so, why stop at two carbs; go all the way to one injector per intake port.
BTW, joey is just trying to stir up trouble. The dyno time necessary to measure the varying intake flow and develope a computer program to calculate the ideal custom cam timing for each cylinder is a hundred-thousand dollar project.
