Every really fast spit I've ever seen is running two webers (and there are
some really fast ones). I'll be seeing one of them this weekend, and I can
ask the owner what he used as far as choke is concerned. I have no idea
what his car makes for horsepower, but he holds his own with Peyote down
the back straight at PIR. Thank God it doesn't handle like Peyote.

Subject: Spitfire carb swap?
So lately I've been running the Luella, the red racing spit [Whose photo
now adorns http://www.team.net/mjb instead of Junior ] in a few local
autocrosses. It is really a D Prepared car, but I'm running the 8" wheels
I had on Killer in his Street Prepared days. And Luella also does road
race duty at IVR events.
Anyway, as per the DP rules, there are two 1.5" SU carbs on the motor at
the moment. Last night I was thinking I might get a bit better top end
out at Wendover with a single Weber DCOE 45, or maybe a pair of 40s. Any
evidence to show one carb setup is better than the other?
You know, I suppose I could take three different sets of carbs out to
Wendover along with an accellerometer, a small stack of manifold gaskets
and come up with some real numbers myself....
