Individual throttle bodies, Help me spend my money- Options

[ottox914]

Here I am stuck in UCLA- ugly corner of lower alabamma- (no disrepect intended to those who live here- its just not home for me) working on Katrina storm claims.

3 weeks of 14 hr days. Insurance adjuster.

The storm bonus should cover cost of some used carb manifolds, throttle bodies, injectors, cross bar linkage, and some fuel rail bits and pieces.

What to buy? Where to buy? What size to buy?

Jenvy, TWM, Redline/weber, C.B., others?

They'd be going a basically stock 2.0 with a Kerry Hunter header, euro p/c's, stock cam/valves/springs, and stand alone ECU system. The car runs SCCA DSP, so no changes to the long block allowed. I'd like to size the throttle bodies and injectors to be big enough to move on to a Jakester 2316 in a year or 2, when I save up some more $$ for his kit.

Planning on the linkage from triad west, as it seems most complete, has had good reviews, and uses lots of heim joints. I like that idea.

Any thoughts? Any real world experience?

Thanks!

I have the TWMs in stock- they are what I use in my EFI kits. The 3216 so far really likes the 45mm arrangement from TWM and the linkage is very easy to set up compared to several of the others on the market. I am Jenvey's US dealer and I'll tell ya now that a set of them with fuel rails and stacks will run you about 1200 bucks after the shipping and they are no better than the TWMs. Actually I prefer the TWM arrangement because of the way the butterfly is located 1/2 way up the T/B bore.

Here is a 914 club member's 2316 equipped with TWMs..
