hiya,

i have a 1300 sp that i will convert to 1600 sp. now i need to get some carbs that want to run right away, and later convert to 1600.

should i go for 40mm kadron or 34mm frd dellorto?

i heard both rock, and that kadron roar bad ass. i can't decide, please help me. it's just a short question, but i need to decide one of these days.

thanks a lot!

Either will work well....neither is available new (well the Kadron's are but the manifolds are not). I'd say use whicheve ryou get the best deal on the best set of...

ok, but do they have any specifics?

or do the dells roar just as the kadrons do?

are dells easy to install as well?

i reckon i can get the dells cheaper, is that reason enough or should take more facts into consideration?

cheers!

I never really looked for "roar" as a measuring stick of performance. The Kadrons will flow more than the dells. That said, with a stock motor the baby dells will flow plenty to meet its requirements. I like dells better as a rule, but have had great results with kadrons on singleports. I had a 1641 single port with a C35 cam, a little porting, and a set of dual springs that LOVED the kadrons. ::shrug:: I maintain buy the best condition carbs you can get. Either will work fine.

sounds similar to what i want to achieve.

does anyone else have any opinions?

Either will work fine. It like asking if the glass is half empty or half full.
There are a lot more Kadrons out there so parts will be easier to get and you'll find more people with experience to help with tuning if you need it
