I have used both intakes on my junk over the years. An Offy will make more low end than a Clifford, be pretty even in the mid-range, and run out of wind in the upper range.

I have no experience with the Oz stuff.

Can anyone comment about where the Offy 2 X 1bbl carb intake manifold compares to the above? Is it just eye candy, or does it produce a different feel to how the engine responds?

Similar low end power to an Offy 4bbl, but with 1bbls it really runs out of steam on a high flowing/HP engine. Above 4500 RPM, it is not good. Definitely has the visual impact! MPG can be quite good with a nice and well tuned set of carbs, but those are getting hard to find. What is your intended purpose?
