Thanks for the info baker , i dont think il spend big bucks on the engine , done most the work myself . Im satisfied with what i have done so far just thought it would be a good idea to ask for some advice while im still working on it thats all . carbs would sound heaps better than injected though .

Thanks for the replies , how hard is the conversion between stock set up and the set up you have at the moment djz. Is it a simple bolt on or is there some engineering involved.
