Yeah, no that will not make much vacuum. Even stimulating it with a dual plane RPM will be soft.

A single plane is a good design. If you need to quench the need for breath, it can pull from more area. A good choice for 400hp and up type hot builds. If you are like me and drive your vehicles around at 3000rpm or below, it will be soft on the low end. They used to have low volume single planes, and barrel plenum 2bbls. They had small , narrow runners. They were superb in a short rpm band. A few companies made 0-5000rpm single planes for 4bbls. I have a 318/323 mopar that I switched over to a edelbrock streetmaster 318 4bbl single plane intake. It did make more power and torque from idle-4500rpm than the edelbrock performer intake did.
