maybe better off getting qed direct to head tb's as they will give more space at the bulk head as the parralel and tapers that require an inlet manifold are quite tight i belive

Broster here: Cold starts are no problem with mine..... depends what the correction tables are like on the map..... i have never had a problem with mine starting (apart from when it was on a hill.... oh and when the starter motor spat its dummy out

Get a Quaiffe ATB off of Lee M.

FK's would be excelent. All I'm going to be running on mine are Custom front springs and lowering springs on the back. But i'm guessing you're wanting higher performance than that....

You'll find that parallel's are individuyally balanced aswell through the air bleed jobs on them, and th ebalance only really counts for very light throttle like up to 3% openings.
Would suggest
flowed head
285cams (TP225 spec cams)
springs
spring platforms
BTB manifold
DTH bodies (QED)
40mm trumpets
Std bottom end + 2mm cut pockets cut in
ARP rod bolts
bottom end balance good bit of mapping.

With any luck you'll see around 220BHp with that spec.
