 I can't give you any data on HP gains, but with proper engine management, =
you should be able to increase the efficiency of the engine. And if you car=
e to play with the fuel maps, you can def. wring some HP out. The drawback =
is that if you try too hard, things go bad... fast.
There's no question that fuel injection is better. But it also flies in the=
 face of "vintage", so it depends on what you're after. I'd say for a vinta=
ge racer - it's a non-starter. For anyone else looking for power, maybe and=
 for anyone looking for efficiency, repeatability and dependability - fuel =
injection, electronic fuel injection, is a no brainer.
Carbs, on the other hand are simple, once you get past the notion that they=
 are simple. And you just live with the compromises.
As far as kits go, there's a guy in ME Rick Patton that sells a setup using=
 the stock Zenith Stromberg carb bodies and a re-mapped pre OBD computer. T=
hat setup has been installed in a lot of cars going back around 20 years. I=
t's a pretty good system and can be made to look almost stock. There's anot=
her series of kits designed by Ramin Mirshab that uses port injection and a=
 throttle body paired with a MicroSquirt 3 controller. This setup can be ma=
de to look very much like the TR6 PI setup with the intake air "log". rat-c=
o.com has been listing this kit for 6-pot Triumphs as well as 4-pot TR's an=
d Spitfires. The setup looks pretty good. I haven't seen any numbers on eit=
her setup, but they offer better efficiency and tuneability - especially th=
e MicroSquirt controlled setup. With a laptop, a chassis dyno and some time=
 and money, you should be able to squeeze some HP out of pretty much any se=
tup.

Didn't answer your question, but there you are.

 Does anyone out there have data on throttle body fuel injection on any
of the triumph motors?=C2=A0 Any Hp gains? Kits out there etc?

Can talk off line but trying to research.
