hi, i have a few questions, first i would like to know if there is an aftermarket company that makes a intake manifold that can hold a blower or even an intake that holds 2 carbs, i don't know what setup would be best for more power, or should i just put a 4 barrel carb on the engine there is a 2 barrel on it right know.

second question, i would also like to know how to increase the torque, i would like to be at a stop light and when it turns green that it will be history pretty quick.

the engine is a 1980 302 Ford F150..

plenty of companies make intakes for your engine, a Edelbrock performer or the like would suit you fine, along with a 600cfm carb, if you want torque, dual carbs are out of the question, there made for high rpm use and not daily street use, especially in a stock engine like you have. a intake, carb, set of headers and low restriction dual exhaust would be the first good steps to make, then maybe add a small cam and a new timing chain. spiral core plug wires and the best tune up you can afford would help also. gears would likely be the best bang for the buck.

would a blower work too

Here's my '95, when we ran a dual-carbed tunnel ram intake on it. It's a 302 stroked to 347.

A stock engine in an F-150 would be pointless to add a dual carb supercharger to. If you want to build something fast, I would start with a lighter vehicle. Keep your truck stock with a nice idle and good mileage. Wait untill you find a car. That is not to say you shouldn't add a couple go fast parts to the truck, but I wouldn't even think of supercharging. The weight of the truck will eat the benifits of supercharging.

Stick with a single carb if it is a stock engine, dual carbs are great look at my avatar it is a 289 with 2 4 barrel carbs. Yes it has a lot of torque and no it is not stock. A supercharger would be a great addition to your motor but you will be limited on the amount of boost you can run on a stock engine.
