   dubious as to how effective the bike kits are in relation to ones designed for cars mind.
   
   especially when factoring mounting them to an inlet manifold etc..

   i was talking to someone in the trade about these and he says go for TB's because bike carbs aren't as good as TB's
   
   he says its all abit of a myth about them to be honest

    they will never be as good as a purpose designed set up. they are a good entry to throttle bodies though cant argue that fact
