Nah... I consider cal-look as an certain attitude, that doesn't really go together with posing.
So Rebel, what is having IDAs on a 1776? Or a 2007? Or a 2176? With a W120 cam, or maybe a Scat C25? They reach maybe 6200 rpm – no use for IDAs here. It's posing! It's just because "they" had it this way in the 70s. They even had IDAs on 1641 cc. Crazy! IDFs would be the better choice, the carbs are more modern, easyer to fine tune. But do they look good? Kind of, but IDAs are the real thing! And why not buying IDAs know. You will upgrade the rest of the engine sooner or later... ;D

I hope so :D I have lotsa questions to the upgrading subject, but I'll just open another tread for it.
To the posing again - I was just askin how would it work, cause I didn't know... :)
Besides, posing is something I hat in some people, that's why I'm trying not to do it.

I ran similar stack boots on my engine last summer, but had to throw them out. I could'nt get the engine to run any good with them...
Seems it was not getting enought air..
same problem here. it would idle fine but wouldnt go.
i bought the redline ones that have the foam sandwiched between to screens.
they were on my old street/race car that had no fender wells so i didnt want rocks finding their way down the stacks
Rasser:
I drive a pair of 40mm dells with 37 vents on my 1914 (40-37,5mm valves on a pair of homeported 040 stock heads - Engle w130 cam with 1,25:1 rockers - 1-5/8" merged - 2½"magnaflow muffler - C/R 10,9:1 - deckheight 0,95mm)
The engine makes 147Hp with the dells... and is perfectly streetable..... who needs IDA´s ? ;)

Yeah I'm looking for a 1776 with IDA's like the good old days....
I'm not shure if the motor can handle them....
but I can't immagine my engine without!
here the specs of two old cars, if this motors were used I can do the same :-)
