1 carb for each cylinder, it doesn't look like the vacuum would work out right.

Edit: 1 carb for every two cylinders, ok I got it through my head. For all that trouble I'd go tuneport.

Uhm, this is an individual runner setup and there is absolutely no vac problems whatsoever.

And tuned port doesn't even compare to this setup wich cranks out 495 ponies, try that with a tuned port

Dude that is sweet! It almost looks like a TPI baseplate with the small carbs bolted on IMO. How much does one of those things run $$ wise? Quite a bit i imagine, but if i had it i'd probably get it.

The manifold is a moon crossram and it goes for $1000, the completer setup w/ webers is available from inglese for 4500 bucks but this one is different, I have dellorto's instead of webers and they're turbo carbs, wich can be seen because they have a second set of fuel lines and choke vents on the fuel chamber lid

Total cost would be over 5000 bucks for this baby

call electromotive, they love turnin those things into fuel injected throttle boddies. with a digital distributorless ignition.

sounds like you have more $ than you need. so that should work out nice since electromotive is far from cheap.

I was thinking about the TWM ( http://www.twminduction.com ) ones but it turns out there's a guy here in the netherlands that makes them for less.

Might be nice for when I have the twin turbo's for it!

Looks like someone surfs the corvette forum. That's Twinnie's setup. It's a real eye-catcher.

No, tuning is relativly easy with a unisyn (sort of flow meter)

And if you don't like it, well that's your choice I like it a lot and that's what counts!

When you get it all hooked up and running, be sure to post a sound bite for us all to hear! Good luck with your project.

simon,

Will do but it might take a while since I just picked up a zf 6 speed and I don't know of anyone ever installing it in a c3 so it might be a struggle but I'll get it up and running
