Looking good! I no someone who had boggs do that carb conversion on a standard xe in a mk2 gte. That rolling roaded at about 180 bhp as far as i can remember with about 160 ish at the wheels he was well chuffed and a couple of other people he knows have had the same setup fitted since so sounds pretty good to me.

BTW Think one of my mates spotted your car in Hornsea at the weekend.

Will have definatly been me in hornsea as there aint any others around here. Dave bogg and his lad's are spot on, Dave will get you every little last bit of power out your engine if your running carb's on the rolling road and his lads do all the fabricating and mechanical work but with top quality finish. The bike carbs are in a class of there own and beat weber's and dellorto's hands down on look's and performance and fuel use.
