Anyone got any ideas?

I'll probably get sh!t for suggesting this, but my father had the twin SU's on my car set up by Ultratune in Morayfield.. I think they enjoyed the challenge, and got them spot on.

Someone told me the only way to tune twin su carbs is to take them off and put a weber on......(not a bbq).

Well it is one way, Webers and Dellortos DO stay in tune.. and you never have to worry whether the needle you have in is the correct one, out of the 800 or so available. :P

BTW I'm not really biased, we run both. :wink:
