I'm wondering what the differences are, and in general (flame suit on) which is "better"? More specifically, what would be the benefits/drawbacks in changing from IDTP-->IDAs? For what it's worth, this isn't something I'm considering doing, it's something that's already been done on a factory /6 I'm looking at. I have the opportunity to purchase the IDTPs in addition to or as a replacement for the IDAs, but have been told the engine is running very, very well with the IDAs. I like the originality idea of sticking with the stock carbs, but don't want to sacrifice performance or the convenience of a more modern, more fully developed product *if* that's what the IDAs constititute.
Basically I don't know shit about carbs. Yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Any and all feedback (opinions even!) would be appreciated. Thanks all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) edit: Replaced "40s" verbiage with "IDFs" in an attempt at clarity re-edit: Replaced "IDF" verbiage with "IDA", since that's what they actually are |

I am running old Zeniths on my 2.5 right now and they seem to produce a lot of power for the engine. With gas going to hit $5 soon and $6-7 next summer, it's tempting to convert over to FI if nothing else to go from 20mpg to hopefully something more like 25-28mpg.
