it's been done. Carbs are crude as hell though. There's not a great deal of point in going that route IMO. ITBs if you're serious, or just a set of cams and a good remap.
which pipercams do you have, there's some which are very mild and some that are quite brutal. Also, where were they dialed in? there's a lot of instances of very poorly timed cams coming to light on the mk1 forums recently
i couldn honestly tell you but i was thinkin puttin it on a rolling road and c will it make much difference!!iv the bottom end fully built with wossners high comp pistons lightened and balanced crank and knife edged too! i bought the head off a lad already assembled with matched inlets and polished with the cams and venier pulleys!! so like it should be fairly quick but i dont think the cams setup rite! what you recommend doin get more power??
oh well thats a different story altogether. I would expect even piper 285 cams to be on the mild side (borderline as they're pretty decent) for that bottom end.
The reality is, you've not going to see more than 175bhp with standard injectors due to their size, (they're actually maxed at 168bhp I believe i calculated a while back) with proper management well mapped, correctly dialed in cams, and larger injectors, you're looking at getting close to 200bhp with a high compression bottom end, but adding ITBs will get you to the 215/220 bhp area and with a load more torque and a much better power spread. Cam choice is fairly key to end results at this level
