The best bang for your buck is a Sterling carb. He uses a stock Nikki carb, then bores it out for better flow and more power, and installs some Holley parts for easier tuning and better availability. You end up with a fantastic looking carb that is actually designed for a rotary engine. I have been very happy with mine, and they cost a fraction of a Holley or Italian setup.

You can read more about them at www.sterlingmetalworks.com

I agree. If you're staying 12a nothing beats a Sterling. If you go 13b or if you port the **** out of your 12a then Weber fo sho...
