My 270 was border line grief for daily use.  General driving was fine
prolonged stop and go would start to load up.  I had min the off idle timing
to keep it from lighting the tires so much.  Other then under a major
traffic jam, was fun

Dual 2" butterflies are about 670, as claimed my Holley in some of their
lit, and it follows with some of what I've seen.  The dual 2s were a delite
for mild 320ish HP set up.
But just enough, using 5K ish shift point.  More cam and buzzing it higher
I'd want more air
