It all depends on the engines state of tune/modifications. With a stock
motor go with a donwdraft weber combination. While the intake
manifold/adapter is not the ideal, it works quite well, and properly set up
you will be quite happy with it. If you've done a few modifications, True
extractor headers, maybe a little head porting, slightly hotter cam then the
single 40 mm weber side draft will be just fine. Unless you've done
EXTENSIVE engine modifications then don't even bother with dual webers.
You'll be just wasting your money and you'll be very unhappy with the
performance -
