Times must be hard or George has seen the light and converted. AutoAtlanta sending out sales flyers with a carb conversion kit. I ordered one with the assurance that AA would stand behind the quality even if they are "China junk". I told them that I would come towing my 914 up to their door if they didn't perform.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that to truely benifit from the carb change over (as far a performance goes), you really need a cam set up to yield the best results.

QUOTE(Mikey914 @ Oct 20 2010, 12:51 PM)  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that to truely benifit from the carb change over (as far a performance goes), you really need a cam set up to yield the best results. A newer, more modern cam will run better, but if you tune the carbs properly there is nothing wrong with running the stock cam. My 2.0 has the stock cam, ported heads, 2.0 valves, and 40mm dellorto carbs, long conrods and I can drive past any 2.0 or 2056 with the stock injection like they are standing still. Cliff has the same engine, but with a webcam 86a and his motor doesn't run out of torque around 6k rpm like mine does, but I have a bit more power off idle. He can take off in 1st gear without touching the gas pedal, I can take off in 2nd. |
