    Are you Planning on running more power in future? Jist may be worth spending a little bit more and runnibg a half decent powered xe. If on carbs run semi decent cams. Id never run those 1612s as they lose midrange power and torque a fair amount compared too standards.

    By the sounds of it, standard spec stuff will be fine. The only way to really chase power figures is with lairy cams, carbs don't really offer the full potential that iTB's do when it comes to bhp.
    Personally I'd sooner have a chipped & TipTop condition C20XE running on SFi/Motronic over twin 45's.
