not that it matters, but I just got 22mpg on the way down to LA last weekend!
12a stock port,with a weber IDA, I have never got more than 18 mpg with my old Dellorto 45mm carb. Not that I am after super good gas milage or anything, but I thought that was pretty cool, only had to fill up 3 times...

I just can't help but say how paradox that sounds. 1. You deliever pizza, hence, your not going to be too rich a person I presume. 2. You have enough money for building a P-port. 3. You have enough money to pay for gas driving around delieverying pizza.

Those things are known as "drill ports" and they SUCK. they create too much turbulance, and you can never get them to idle right. Mod for Mod, A properly running stock port will get more power.
Seriously, stick to a large street-port, or do a real bridge.
A Real bridgeport has the rotor housings notched as well.

Direct Freak : I dissagree with you there!I have had great success with my other single row hole engine.The breathing capabilities improved greatly.
My Rotorhousings are notched,more than just a bit to be honest!
Halfbridge with a Holley would work good Jeff.The thing i like most with a ida/dcoe is that there is lots more low down than with a 4 barrel.

With my single row setup,i used the nikki for some time,and then borrowed a IDA from a friend.
I couldnt believe how much more torque(no i cant spell that) my engine had at 3000 rpm.
Suddenly i could turn into a intersection in 3rd,i didnt have to go back to 2nd.
not even to talk about the extra topend (but thats obvious)

Like I said all things being equal. It all depends on how the carb has been setup and you can't really compare a stock Nikki to an IDA. Generally speaking though, a four barrel is tuneable for a wider range of rpm than a two barrel. With the two barrel it's usually a balancing act between having venturis large enough for good high rpm power while not having it bog down at low revs.

Even though i use a holley 600 now, i used to have a mikuni 40 sidedraft and the low end power was great from around 3k. I do believe they are better for lower end than holleys but if you go racing holley is defenetly the way to go.
