I've always felt that you can't go wrong following the advice of Peter
Burgess' book "How to Power Tune MGB 4-Cylinder Engines for Road & Track".
Here's are a few of the things he has to say on the subject:
"...because of [the SU's] commonplace usage it has never had the high
performance image it deserves."
"The SU carburetor is easily capable of providing power outputs from the B
series only very marginally surpassed at very high rpm by competition-type
sidedraught installations."
"It is interesting to note that a correctly set-up SU has more fueling
sites than computer controlled fuel injection systems, i.e. more ability to
specifically alter fueling to suit varying load and throttle positions..."
Peronslly, I just don't understand why anyone bothers with Webers. IMHO and
YMMV, of course :-)

exhaust runs and sounds great)
