I'm starting a 2.0 build and I have set of idf 40's but I don't know if they'll keep up. It's going to have the biggest cylinders and pistons I can buy in it with a knife edged and balanced crank, port and polished heads, big cam... Blah blah blah. I have a set of IDF 40s and I am wondering if they will be able to keep up. Any help would be appreciated.

We need a little more info than that. First off, is this going to be a low RPM DD or a high RPM track car? How big is big and how fast are you going to spin it?
You'll need to calculate your venturi size based on cylinder capacity and RPM. Once you determine your venturi size does it fit in the IDF 40 carb body? Also remember that venturi selection is going to be a compromise between high speed performance and low speed drivability. |
