Performance will depend wholly on your inlet system. EG, Are you planning to run a factory injection type plenum and throttle body? For example, While a conventional (eg factory style) plenum with a single throttle will probably drive better all round while being more fuel efficient, The restriction in the system will be greater than that of a pair of good side draught carbies. The carbies on the other hand would pose offer less restriction which is great for power, however would not behave as well. Also would drop a bit of torque methinks. A good option would be a well designed custom plenum which flows well and is designed for your desired torque/engine characteristics. Then finished with a largish (not too huge) throttle and garnished with good aftermarket EFI. It would be smooth providing the tuning was done well, offer decent power and economical too. (ALL DEPENDANT ON TUNING!) My ultimate setup, would be... You guessed it!, A set of quad throttles with EFI. Would give you the best of both worlds and pose even less restriction than the Carbs. Sure it might cost a bit to innitially setup but you could always take them with you to your next car. Not to mention the sound, Ohh the marvellous sound it would make The would even make a good basis/addition to a well angry 2TG. If your handy with your metalwork it wouldnt be too hard to, say, adapt a set of webbers to quad throttle duties (looking at you bill ). Or try adapting 20V throttles, bike throttles etc Would make a great tech article Rex [Updated on: Sun, 21 December 2003 11:30] [Report message to a moderator]
