A Series Engine and Carby Combinations

Subject: A Series Engine and Carby Combinations

Hi all,

Just wanting to know what people have found to be the best engine and carby combos on their street cars?

Im in the process of building a little street cruiser sedan. Basically just something to take out and about on weekends and have a little fun. Originally i was thinking a14/15 with headwork, big cam, twin sidedraught webbers, headers and exhaust. I had this in my old ute and that was 10 years ago but i seem to remember it was fun and quick but i also remember how little it was in tune and how hard i had to push it to get the best out of it. So i am wondering if this setup may be overkill for what i want and i dont want to waste $ for relatively minor power gains.

So recently i have switched to the idea of single webber and milder cam and save my $ to spend on other aspects of the build.

I really just want something i can zip around town and have a little fun without revving the hell out of it. At the same time i dont want to be underwhelmed either by lack of power and then have to shell out for another engine build.

What have others found in this case. Are twins really worth the extra $ and hassles of tuning? Has anyone had both and could tell me their preference for driveability and fun? Also if i went single would sidedraught have much power improvement over 32/36 dgv?

Thanks
Trav
