Gonna hafta agree with ol' Frankie here. It seems that the DGV is a better
carb than the Z-S POS that was original on the 1500. On the other side of
the coin, most of the consensus of opinion here, and on the MG list is that
a good set of SU's is much preferable than a DGV anyday. Not real sure about
the A series, But I like my DGV.
Mike G (who is away getting laid, err.... Married, this week) has twin
1-1/2" SU's on his 1500 and likes that set up a LOT.
