Love the DCOE's, the throttle response is so much sharper. Just almost brutally instantaneous. And while it can be a bit of a struggle to get a nice smooth idel, the top end power over the SU's makes it worth it.

You have to compare apples to apples. You have a good head & big cam. DCOE's absolutely LOVE big cams, SU's hate them. If you bolt DCOE's on to a stock B20B all you get is a lot of noise & a loss of economy.

Mine have been in 'set it and forget it' mode for a good 5 years now. Unlike the SU's which need periodic tweaking, the DCOE's don't seem to drift off tune over time.

Obviously your SU's are worn out, half a day at Rhys's & they would be set & forget too.
