Great way to help guys.
Sometimes the truth stings. A 2bbl carb-to-1bbl intake adaptor is, at base, a counterproductive waste of time. It defeats the whole purpose of going to a 2bbl from a 1bbl. We told him that, lots of us. He didn't listen. Now his car doesn't run right. Well...yeah, it's not gonna run right! By means of comparison, consider:
Common advice from knowledgeable horse trainers includes the adage "If the horse you're riding dies, get off." Seems simple enough, doesn't it? We even have a common expression ("beating a dead horse") that refers to the futility of trying to ride a horse that has expired. Yet we don't always follow that good advice to get off the dead horse. Instead, we often choose from an array of other alternatives which include:
-Buying a stronger whip.
-Trying a new bit or bridle.
-Switching riders.
-Moving the horse to a new location.
-Riding the horse for longer periods of time.
-Saying things like, "But this is the way we've always ridden this horse."
-Appointing a committee to study the horse. (With sub-committees to study the head, tail, etc.)
-Arranging to visit other sites whey they ride dead horses more efficiently.
-Increasing the standards for riding dead horses.
-Creating a test for measuring our riding ability.
-Comparing how we're riding now with how we rode ten or twenty years ago.
-Complaining about the state of horses these days.
-Coming up with new styles of riding.
-Blaming the horse's parents. The problem is often in the breeding.
-Tightening the cinch
-Trying to resuscitate the horse.
-Loudly shouting down those who point out that the horse is dead.

Many people have used those adapters with good results.
On that I remain dubious. The pesky laws of physics refuse to bend even for the marketeers of larger-carb-to-smaller-intake adaptors.
