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?

That is kind of what I was hoping to hear from some one Trekkor.

Up until then it is mostly conjecture... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) be it personally informed or otherwise.

I have it directly from an old school Porsche mechanic that the carbs do not do well with a stock cam motor.
Yes, you can make it run...but is it really better than the FI or does it just sound better at some operating parameters.
According to my source it is very tough to get the carbs to run efficiently at all parameters with a stock cam.
That is why until I change the cam I will probably stay with the stock FI
