just fitted bike carbs and megajolt to the trusty old pinto and WOW what a difference, i am still messing with maps at present so not spot on yet, all i can say is that if anybody is considering fitting bike carbs it is well worth the effort and thankyou to rayward for supplying the megajolt and help with install.

i had twin SU s on this build, but my previous pinto had 32/36 dgav and improvement on each set up is immense.

Got zx 9 r carbs need to fabricate manifold just wasnt sure if it was the right road to go down

mine are zx9 carbs and are ideal as i have used the tps for the magajolt that is fitted as standard. jacko is running the same carb set up and his was rolling roaded at bogg brothers and getting on towards 180 bhp at flywheel. i am sure you wont be disappointed
