I have yet to see a good substitute for the SU carbs (except maybe the Moss
turbocharger setup but for me, that is at least a couple of years away).
Good performance, original, cheap and easy to work with. I even converted a
TR7 from ZS carbs to SU HS6, more for their simplicity but the small
performance increase was also a bonus.
But then I'm also a vi fan in the unix world.
