Just wondering, is it possible, and is there any benefit to running a side draft weber on a VK injection manifold in place of the throttlebody? just thinking, it would have much the same effect as a tunnelram. awaiting your thoughts, cheers alex If it doesn’t burn fossil fuels, it’s not a sport.

I can't see how (without porting and/or welding) a manifold can suit red, black and blue. Particularly since they list 2 x different triple Weber manifolds. __________________________________________

The pads were left wide and no stud holes were drilled. The match porting to the inlet ports was not a real complicated procedure. The old manifold gasket port matching job. As far as I could tel

They were used with triple webers. So it may be an assumption on my behalf, and maybe incorrect that triple webers with a 12 port he
