Yes Eric, your use of 40 dcoe's is more to the point of my question.
Josef, I understand your point and I'm sure we all love SU's but my question pertains to the use of Weber/Dellorto sidedraft twinchoke carbs and whether their seemingly superior design for use on the series of 3 twinports of our Westlake designed post Longbridge C series cylnder heads would provide better economy and performance when tuned for road use as opposed to splitting the flow of 2 or 3 single choke SU carbs. Just looking for facts, no need to cloud the atmosphere with nonsense.
Thanks
