does the K not fit in something like a midget with bodies?

I reckon it'd be a false economy - a big single TB with a mappable ECU would probably come close on power to a set of Webers. Even a stock set-up would be my option as I reckon it'd be more tractable than a set of big carbs. I won't mention emissions....

The set-up cost for Webers, the constant going in and out of tune, the rich mixture etc would bug me. I know that with the 45s I had on my Fiesta, the power delivery was poor as to get power the jets had to be big, you had to feather it til it came on cam etc.

A 45 DCOE is £270 retail unjetted.

Anyway, I'm rambling!
