I borrowed a set of SUs that were set up like that from Chip Bond
(they may have come on the car that he bought from Jack) and I used
them on my TR-4 autocross car for a year. Unlike road racing, autocrossing
requires lots of on and off throttle, lots of mid-throttle acceleration,
etc. Those carbs performed quite well for me; I'm currently running
42 DCOE webers on the car because I get a little better throttle response
due to the accelerator pump, I'd guess.
