twin carbs are basically 1 throttle buttefly per inlet port/cylinder. as opposed to the standard single carb which serves all 4.

what you get is hugely de-restricted path for fuel and air to enter the engine.

inlet manifold to suit your engine will be about 150 quid new. carbs are just over 200 ...

your gonna need in the region of a genuine 90bhp to reach a genuine 115mph. no debate. a car with 45bhp is gonna reach an aerodynamically limited top speed of about 80-85.

getting someone else to sit next to you in another car proves one thing alone, their speedo is overreading too.
