What carbs are those?
I have never seen such large secondaries/velocity stacks whatever those are. |

The engine is a 95 x 71 2 liter putting out around 200 HP. Care to share any other engine specs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I would love to know what it takes to get 200 HP out of a 2L type IV. I was commenting on another thread recently with Jake about breaking the 100 hp/L mark, and I didnt think it could be done with a type IV. Greater than 200hp in a type IV, sure, but I assumed huge displacement. |

They are absolutely worthless below 5,000 RPM, though. I have a 71X95 now that makes 200HP, I just need to get it on the dyno and decide what to do with it. |

I had a car that could not get on the trailer until well over 5k revs... so, while it may make lots of HP, its not drivable in normal situations. rich |
