Need something renewed.

So, I need a new Carb. Any suggestions on what would work best for a stock 12a?

I'm happy with my 45 DCOE Weber, very good and reliable,
downside is the gas. Likes to suck on it. Some people will say
to go for the Holley.

I've read a few things about Holly not being good if you plan on making fast corners...

I have a weber 45dcoe but be forwarned, I have been having nothing but troubles getting it to run right. It does take ALOT of tuning to get it running decent.

Check, holley is not a good setup over a weber for SCCA events.
You will notice the fuel get slung to one side.

the modified nikki is probably the best all around. It is what I plan on going with. You wont have to buy a different intake manifold so that will save you quite a bit of money.

I'm probably going to go with the modded Niki, and thanks to those who showed me that option, becayse $200 for a new manifold doesn't seem too friendly to me right now. Atleast I found out about this before I went through with that.

Thanks guys.
