Does anybody know the performance difference between a pair of SU carbs vs a Weber 32/36 on an a14? Just curious if it really is worth the cost.

im kinda retarded when it comes to some of the technical details. Im more of a Do-it-yourselfer than a mechanic. So basically the the SU carbs are larger than the weber. What kind of HP difference are we talkin'?

what other mods have been done to the motor? bigger valve, ported head, aftermarket header, cam, stuff like that can improve your ponies.

I have done nothing other than install the weber 32/36 and remove most or all of the emissions junk.

if using dual hitachi's, properly setup, i think 100 HP is achievable. engine hp though. and you need better exhaust system than stock.

Speaking of exhaust, I just got new exhaust Friday. It's still "stock" but it has no cat. I'm not really looking to make it fast just because of the labor and cost. I was really just curious. My goal is to fix the pinion bearing (not myself), fix the tie rod, re-trim the windshield and back glass, finish the interior, finish the bodywork and paint that bastard! I'm finally "almost" there; I can taste it!
