Power increase of dual carbies?

[satria]

Hey people, as some of you may know i have a mk2 2 litre escort. It basically has all the engine mods you can do (Lumpy cam etc etc) except for dual carbies. I'm not sure whether to buy some side-drafts because they aint cheap (everyones asking roughly $1000) so im assuming it must increase power lots, but how much exactly? Are they worth the dough?

Does anyone know what sort of increase in performance i would get if i buy a set? Any help is appreciated, cheers

I have a set of dual 40mm weber carbs at home that I intend to put on my 2ltr pinto as well.

We have spoken to some mechanics about the carbies and a lumpy cam and have been quoted 140-150hp (this includes extractors)

If anyone has anything different to this I would like to know!

You'll get between 10-20 HP from sidedraughts...

Fuel consumption is horrible with them unless you get the distributer recurved though.

It really does depend on your state of tune and how the car is set up. You might want to get your car tuned on a dyno to get the most out of what you've got before investing in a set of twin webers.

dissy recurve and everything spot on you will use more fuel , my old 2 litre did more than 200 clicks, revved to around 7200rpm in top! The carb looked standard but was taken out everywhere inside it , had ИИИИloads of torque but also used more fuel than standard. Wrber off a Falcon didnt give as good results

all the bottom end was balanced , billet cam , good extractors and it was also in the days of SUPER fuel , ran about 11-1 compression. Sounded good , went awesome.
But bang for buck am going an SR20DEVCT for now, turbo comes later.

I run a single sidedraft delorto with lynx manifold. mild sig erson cam.extracters big exhaust.that all!!. it pulled o to 100 in 8 secs.you can go to far with these motors and lose power!!!
