: : I know Korman sells them, I don't know the price (Lost my price sheets)But has anyone ran them? Anyone have a supply for cheaper than Korman, it seems like they were $1500 or so. THey claim great improvements in performance. I am sure the 45 DCOE would be even better.

: Don't do it. Ask Steve Kirby. He's got triple webers. Pain in the arse.
Now, Greg webers aren't that bad. I did have a set of (3) sidedrafts on my MGC once.
Now try dual solex 40PHH's on a 2002 --now that was hard to get dialed right!
Yes, it did take some time to get the 3 carbs right --but after that I never tuned them again.
BUT I don't think it would give you much more power than the l-jet already does. Fuel injection
is much more precise (although sometimes more of a pain too).
Stick with fuel injection --and if you want to play with getting more power try the SDS-EM1 fuel
system. It will allow the engine to produce 10-15% more power than the old bosch l-jet.
