Not quite sure what you mean by that. I was considering fitting the same kit as the OP fitted. That is 1 choke per cylinder vs Fords 1 choke for 4 cyls. It should give another 35 BHP (approx), but at higher RPM.
Yes I could fit a pair of Webers but I think using an ECU to control the engine is a good idea. To me the pros far out weigh the cons. Plus I have the emission laws to think of.

The information I am getting (mainly from My friends in Seattle and not near as knowledgeable as the UK) is that there is NO increase in Torque/BHP (not so sure at a higher RPM), better engine response, but poorer driveability. 35 HP is certainly significant. I realize that You can not use the Weber DCOE in the UK due to emissions. But I can. I am using some sort of "Home Grown" computer to operate the ignition. But it only uses RPM to advance/retard the timing (about like a Dizzy without vacuum advance/retard). I did follow 2 TR powered +4's and struggled to keep up with them. Makes Me wonder!
