I had a set on a standard Citeron bx gti lump(1.9 16v) in my 309 gti
that put out 192bhp
Loverly carbs!!!!
Karan has a few more than 200bhp anyway dude!!
I think M3Jimbo was replying to Matt_M44is Adam.
interesting challenge to see if i can get the little 1.9 up to 200bhp
Does anyone use DCOE/DHLAs on M44s?

So if the heavier fly wheel is the equivileint to linear mass/more weight
in the car!!! Does that mean that you speed up a hill when the effects of
momentem/inetia have worn off will eventually be greater because the
engine is effectivly pulling less weight up the hill!!!
Also the fly wheel doubling its weight when spining!! Dose that roughly
mean that cause i have taken 10lb off my fly wheel when it spins thats
20lb so ive realitivly soeaking reduced my cars weight by 20lb (in a
straight line!)?????
Come on turbo brown!!!
