only thing majorly different right off the bat is that SDJ's are dyno tuned. sdj is some very rediculously awesome stuff, but you're gonna pay for it.

A lot of stuff you can't do to a carb in ITA that will really wake up the Nikki. Are they both ITA legal?

I was just looking at what the deal was by using that button at the top marked SEARCH. The Sterling carb is no where near ITA legal. I thought we were comparing two different peoples offerings of mod'ed carbs. The sterling set-up has all those "wake -up" things done to it not legal in ITA. I do everything myself so I wasn't familier with with Sterling and Carls services.

For maximum gain go Sterling, at $350 its well worth the price.

Due to international shipping problems I could not get a Sterling carb, but he told me what to do and after much work I fitted the result. With the carb, the equivalent of a RB exhaust system and a K&N air filter there was a 47% power increase measured on the same dyno. The fuel pump coped but if I had streetported then an upgrade would have been necessary.

Rusty- Response to your last questions, it bolts on as a replacement, and you will not need to upgrade the fuel pump if you have a stock port, but check the filter.
