Carbs on a completely stock 2.0L, does it work Options

[DanT]

So there is a lot of difference of opinion.
With a totally stock 2L engine including ignition, cam etc
do carbs work effectively?
More noticeable power?
Drivability?
MPG?
Worth the hassle?

let the games begin!

Lets hear it.

stock engine + carbs = less power and much worse gas mileage.

that is compared to a well running stock FI. of course carbs will be better than a FI that isn't running. duh! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

stock cam sucks for carbs. as i said, you'll have less power and worse gasmileage.

now, if you put a more agressive aftermarket cam in there, carbs can *really* wake up your engine. big time.

bottom line, if you want to go carbs, you'll have to split the case and add a carb-friendly cam.
