Has anyone set up twin 40s on an m10?

I have the manifold ordered and got carbs but no comprehensive guide on how to set them up.

What kinda power will i get from the 1800 lump ?

Don't forget to factor the cost of mappable ignition into the costs of the carb conversion, can gain more from optimised ignition than fuel delivery :D

if i was building a track car i would have gone for throttle bodies.

carbs give you quick easy power gain, and its going to be a rally car so one less thing to go wrong.

i have all the parts i need to go twin carb
