My father has a Morgan Plus 8, but it's basically the same setup. It
originally came with fuel injection, but after a number of years, the
fuel injection started to have some drivability issues. Off went the
fuel injection and on went the Offy manifold and a 4-barrel.
Can't speak to exact numbers, but the car is definitely more peppy than
before. I think the stock FI doesn't breath extremely well and the carb
setup does a better job.
Jim A., you out there?

Which makes more HP, torque, fun? A TR8 with fuel injections, with ZS
carbs,
or a Holley 4 barrel with the Offy manifold? And how much HP? Mileage
for
each setup? Maybe that's too obvious but I'd still like to hear
opinions,
experiences.
Thanks
