Theres a nova in this months TV with a C20XE on twin 45s. They look similar to what i thought was throttle bodies on the same engine (different car) at PV2003.
Cheers.

twin carbs serves 2 cylinders each, throttle bodies serve each cylinder separate..........i think..

so basically carbs just chuck the mixture in and tbs measure how much of the mixture needs to be put in at any revs

quite the opposite, an aftermarket mappable ecu runs tbs far better than a chip etc, a worth while upgrade for the remapablility with a laptop!

As said above.
Also, with TB u set it up once and once 've got it right ur sorted. PLus u can get more power gains with Throttle bodies and a decent engine managment system.
Carbs need to be re-setup all the time. Pain in the arse. Can't sqeeze as much power as throttle bodies.
