    No not for the amount of money it will cost to set them up

    Carbs are a bit of a technological step back mate, if you are going to use a bike inlet, you want to use throttle bodies off a gsxr thou/r1 etc. Best bang for buck you are looking at sandy brown/colin satchell set up with a predator ecu. Could do it for between £1000-1500 buying parts second hand. Be looking at between 160-170 bhp mark with 708's/ph3's on a healthy engine with that set up.

    mine is on jenveys and 708's i was told i would make 155bhp and i did which is right for my set up the highest ive seen is 167bhp with atspeed bodies and ph3's, id always go for jenveys, atspeed/gmc etc bodies over bike bodies, you can usually find some cheap i think there is some in the forsale section for about £600 or if your very lucky like me you can pick up bargains i got my jenveys for £360, they cost over £1300 brand new
