Yup ! 140-160

Even though I'm running dual DGVs on my 260Z (inline 6), I'd go for dual SUs if I was looking into a new setup. Much, much less hassle and expense than DCOEs, and probably a good bit less than DGVs also. I've heard that DCOEs set up for WOT can get terrible fuel economy.

SU's are a great performing carb with good part-throttle economy AND WOT performance. Probably one of the easiest carbs to self-maintain, rebuild, and tune. The only thing that's not self-repairable is worn throttle shaft and bushings.

Later,
Al
