I was thinking of the rather sad old twin SU's on my Montego back in the dark ages. You know, those aluminium tit shaped things that pissed oil into the inlet manifold from the damper pistons and NEVER got in phase with each other unless you were approaching 6000rpm. Great sound tho.

No injection kit can compare to the raw snarl of carb fed motors. All you get is a kind of a feline hiss (yes, I did use an 'h').

Driving diesel now, and these things are far too complex. Performance is sorted, noise is sorted. Fuel economy: good as ever. Servicing costs: horrific.

Yet thou speaketh of none other than Twin Weber DCOE 40's.

My, weren't you privileged.

Rgds,
