well i was told sbd dont have cold start
dabilas are just shite
not heard much about webber



Webber-Alpha TBs aren't really that rated as far as I know. I was advised to steer clear. SBD's TB's taper TBs are very well matched for that engine, and would be my first choice. As for ECU, MBE (as supplied by SBD) is well thought of, but there others such as GEMS (what I use) and Motronic (a bit dearer, but very fast processors and very responsive). The important thing is that whatever ECU you buy, you get someone who REALLY knows the system to do your mapping. Hope this helps.

I believe some SBD kits do have cold start, depending on application.

dBilas are ok for some, others prefer the typical TB setup.

Weber Alpha as used on John Shield's Nova in the Clarkson vs Henderson video.

Just tryin to picture a rough power for all this.

p.s I doubt you;ll need the FSE valve if your mapped with a unichip. also the BMC is restrictive. I would probably suggest 175hp

Always pays to be conservative.
