Onderwerp: [Fot] Weber vs Mikuni

I'm looking into switching out my twin HS4s on the 1296 race engine to eith=
er Weber or Mukinis. I know this has been done for years and I'd like to ge=
t close the best set up out of the gate.=20

I don't think the SUs are up to the task of moving enough air with the new =
ported head and Stahl header. I've worked on the SUs and gotten them to fin=
ally deliver a good AFR , 12.6, at 6500 RPM under load but I seem to hit a =
wall (figuratively) at that point. I suspect that the openings just aren't =
big enough to deliver the mass of air required. (spreadsheet or other flow =
calculator link appreciated)
Biggest gate I suspect is the intake valve, 1 3/8" head (~35mm) HS4 is ~38m=
m at best.

Recommendations? I've seen all these setups at the track, each with pluses,=
 minuses and overkill cause it looks cool.=20

One weber DCOE 40 or 2? what jets, tubes etc for a starting point? Best man=
ifold?=20

2 or 4 Mikuni 40? jet size?
thanksmike
