- NOS Solex carbs still in the box. Comp cam and sway bar still in factory wrap. SUs still on the car. I've talked to a lot of folks about the SU vs Solex question. Everybody has their own opinion. I'v

- Exactly!!. I you look at the performance curves of the SU vs Solex cars, below 4000 rpm the SU has more hp and torque, above 4000 the Solex w B cam does. It all depends on what range you operate your

- Well this is also a function of the cam. What if you got a 'better' cam grind that made power in a broader powerband? I have been wondering this why is the solex b cam the only one you ever hear abo

- Give Nissan a little credit. They know how cams work too! The B cam is a very good compromise cam. Not too lumpy (rough idle), reasonable power band and torque. They did a pretty good job. The SU ca

- This is one of those discussions that has no end. It is true that SU's (IN GOOD SHAPE) are very good carbs. However there are some fundamental limitations and Solexes are better in many ways. Solexes

- Wouldn't this be a good time to introduce the idea of upgrading from carburetors to programmable electronic fuel injection? I can't find the posts in my history file (I may have purged them) but I se

- Daniel, There is no denying the "cool" factor when you raise the hood and half the engine compartment is filled with those big dual throat carbs. However, keep a couple of things in mind. Jim and Sc
