Here's what Triumphtune says on the Z-S to DCOE issue:
"We recommend that this conversion is used when at least 'PlusKit B'
is being carried out, as the main benefit with this carburetor is the
improvement in top end breathing, whilst when set up properly they
will extend the lower power bands as well. Regarding DCOE vs. PI,
the PI system can be made to produce slightly more BHP when everything
is in 'A1' condition ..."
"PlusKit B," in TT's lingo, means fitting a header and FF exhaust, modified
cylinder head with rocker shims, "Road 83" cam, w/lightened,
tuftride cam followers. They claim a power increase of 35-40bhp with
this package. If indeed you get 40 bhp with the package, then you
are certainly in the PI ballpark with an earlier TR6.
T-tune cautions that the rest of the car be upgraded to handle the extra
ponies, i.e., with brake and suspension components.
I presume John Lye agrees w/this assessment?
