Well, yes and no. (1.5 vs 1.75 as "the
hot set-up").

A lot depends upon state of tune. But I
am about to find out.

My current engine is a 1293 to basically
Cooper "S" spec., exept for compression
ratio. I have a new HIF44 at my disposal,
originally purchased to take the place of
the Holley which comes standard with the
Judson blower I may (or may not!!) install
after engine "break-in".

I am currently in contact with APT and
am awaiting word on intake manifold and
proper needle and spring for state of tune as I have decided to give
this carb a try
in the "normally aspirated" mode.

For all I know, Mr. Anton may recommend
a 1.5 instead of the 1.75....we'll see.

A buddy of mine just got his 1.5 set-up
(I've been letting him use the 45DCOE
I was supposed to send to "iron" Mike
in the meantime!!) for his stock 1275
with suitable settings (his old twin 1.25's
were leaking air so he said the hell with
'em!!).

I should be taking his car for a drive by
next weekend when he has the set-up
installed and will report my experience
in this regard should anyone be interested.

He's using an Osellie Torquemaster manifold, I believe. Supposed to be
one
of the best.

Then I'll clean up the "45" and send it along to "patient" Mike, all set
up for
his 1380!!
