carbs for XE

[5_door owner]

due to be fitting my XE soon, just in the process of building ti all up.

as im at this stage, im considering what to do when i get used to/bored of standard XE power, so the question is, which carbs will be better suited to the XE

45's or 48's? and coupled with a piper cam, how much of an increase in power am i looking at?:thumb:

[J.T]

id consider a throttle body kit .

Or is that not what u had in mind ?

[draper]

throttle bodies are damm expensive tho !!

from bits ive been reading on the subject t48s are better suited, i think

i pretty sure ive decided on t48s, lairy cam, headwork, lighened/balanced bottom end

unless i find a couple of grand under the settee

visit www.sbdev.co.uk (http://www.sbdev.co.uk) and their site will tell you all you need to know. I would definately save your pennies and go for tb though.

45's your looking at about ?500ish for a set in good nick (with inlet etc) then youve got the comedy of getting a dizzy setup for it, and finally the cost of a PROPER RR setup (and if you dont go for that then you might as well have left the std injectiong on)

im with the others though, TB's are the future...
