the best for performance is a dual plane
yes I know about jags-restored a few 20+years ago as a living--but am on about carb and manifold in relation to performanceSydneyRoverP6B said:I don't argue that there are better dual plane manifold designs that will liberate more power from the RV8, but what came standard on the P6B does quite an acceptable job. As far as torque delivery is concerned, the Rover manifold and the SU carburettors will certainly take some beating, and when all is said and done, torque is really the king.
Just one reference to SU carbs and performance. The Jaguar e-type ran SU carburettors on their 4.2 litre 6 cylinder engine. The car would run to 60mph in 7.00 seconds flat and reach a top speed of 152 mph. Not bad going in anyone's language you would have to agree.
