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.

QUOTE(914_classic @ Oct 31 2011, 11:34 PM)  Are DCOE's worth trying? Im a pretty big watercooled fan and a lot of the watercooled racers who run carbs use DCOE's. DCOE's are side drafts. They work great for watercooled cars because the intake port is on the side of the head. IDA's and IDF's are down drafts. The aircooled heads have the ports pointed up perfect for a down draft application. Unless your going to turbo it why would you increase manifold length or add a 90 degree angle in the mix to screw up flow? Here's the venturi chart I reference. It's only a guide. I'd go with Jakes real world experience. Attached image(s)
