I had twin 2" SUs on my 240Z, put out 265bhp at 6,000 rpm, very reliable and easy to set up.

What problems did you have with them Steve?

[shpub]

Continiously going out of balance. Needles breaking(I used to carry spares). Sticking floats in the fuel chamber. Just a pain that required continiously being looked at.

Maybe I prfer plugging in a laptop and playing with 3D maps compared to bending this and changing this spring and so on.

The SUs do need to be mounted horizontally to work well. I never broke a needle or had any other problems with them at all, once set up on the rolling road they were fine. I did make sure to maintain them though (and they were brand new when fitted). Though I must admit the looks of a triple Weber or Dellorto 45s setup was the dogs bs.
