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!

So it would seem that if I'm liking the TWM's, I'm also liking your center mount linkage... Oh well, its alot cheeper than the triad set up. In general terms, for those of us with oil temp gauges but no cyl head temp gauge, is there a rough equivalent between the 2, in terms of when to look out for expansion issues, and what would these issues be? If the engine expands more than the linkage, would WOT not be fully WOT, or could there be breakage issues with the linkage/throttle bodies from the expansion of the motor not matched by the linkage?

Has anyone, other than perhaps Jake, actually had problems with the center mount linkage, or are we all just tossing out theories with no experience?
