Weber 38DCOE worthy on stock port 12a?

Wondering if this would be a worthy set up? Not planning on going to the track any time soon. Just my weekend driver. Alraedy have RB headers. Wanted 48's but too damn expensive!

38 would be very compairable if not flow a little les than the stock nikky
stock nikky will flow about 350 cfm and a 45 dcoe with 36mm chokes will flow anout 450. i heard that yaw nikki will floe 425 cfm don't know how accurate my numbers are, but they're close

A single 38 is too small for any rotary application.

IDA will give you a little better top end n/a, but if you plan to go turbo the dcoe is easier to work with.

Oh wait! I already have a holley fuel pump (red) and pressure reg. Is a Sterling carb comparable as far as performance goes? I really like the way the Nikki looks when prepped.

prepped? you mean boost prepped? or rebuilt. for best performance and drivability under boost, hit up the weber side draft.

A 45 feels like a stock carb.

38 might be too small even for a DUAL carb setup.
