redline and holley is a must.the stock 2 barrel is pretty good but the stock manifolds are very poor for flow.

What do u mean it marchs on petrol. A gas cam is only just bigger than stock so it should run fine,shouldnt b too lumpy either.dont just go straight for a holley because the weber sounds like it needs a tune.

ok Im with it now. If it goes hard that is normal coz my te six weighs 1100 kg with the cast iron motor but i run an alloy head xd 250 with a stromberg which is at least 30 kgs lighter. All up a corty weighs between 1000-1100kgs compared to a commodore 14

A two barrel weber 32/36 dgv will fit on a standard single barrel manifold with a redline adapter. These weber carbys are heaps better than the xe xf falcon carbs.I will put one on my corty as soon as i get motivated.

plus, gas cams have much higher lift in the exhaust if my memory serves me correctly, enhancing flow.
