Really? I would have thought a smaller carb was easier keep tune since air speeds are higher. But that's based on constant venturi carb exp.How do constant velocity carbs respond to over carburetion? Would175 Strombergs fit the GT6 intake?

Technically speaking the twin 1.5" throats will breath enough to meet your demands.
but with constant depression carbs you really do want to size them in the mid to 3/4 capabilities.
so 1 3/4 will be easier to maintain a tune.

Hello gentlemen.
I mentioned to some of you that I am planning on increasing the Hp of my 2.0 liter GT6 engine to something like 130 or so. Would you say the current pair of Stromberg 150 flow enough for this level of power? Or would I be better off with a pair of 175s? Or maybe 3 150s?
Take care,
Joao

Subject: Re: [TR] Other Triumph Forums When I joined this list 15 years ago everyone signed their name, type of car and it's chassis number. I am sad to see this no longer happens. It was helpful, say when I came across an unfamiliar item, that contacting a member with a close chassis number could clarify. Over the years my knowledge of my TR would not be where it is today without this list and the members who have helped so much with their hands on advice. I would like to thank you all past and present. I personally prefer a mailing list although Forums do have their place. I remember well Fred,s powder coating in depth threads. I never pursued it myself but it sure saved me a whole load of money negotiating the price with commercial powder coaters when cutting through their "BS" of how difficult it is too do. Signing in the old fashioned way.

I too have been around long enough to remember fluif, and rec.autos/rec.autos.british, even. I think if you join some of the forums you will see quite a few familiar names. I think my favorite is BCF: http://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf/forumdisplay.php?18-Triumph -Darrell
