<Sigh>
The HS6s won't do you any good without other engine mods - look what the guy 
was comparing them to when saying they made a big improvement - a downdraft 
Weber <gack!> fer Crisake. Your car already has 2 SUs.

And what good would having racing settings (they use needles, BTW, not jets 
to vary mixture - all 6 series carbs have the same size jets) if the rest of 
your engine weren't built to suit.

Why oh why is saying the word "racing parts" in front of many MG owners the 
equivalent of letting a bitch in heat run through a kennel of male dogs - 
even if they have no chance of using the parts, they start foaming at the 
mouth (and barking?).
