 Since those carbs are jetted for a Lotus "Escalat" all bets are off!

For the modifications you've discussed FI seems like the way to go. Tuning Dellortos from scratch is a task that Lotus took years to get right.

The tuning of the original Dellorto 40's on the euro JH is far from perfect. Some of the "book" assumptions don't work for the pent roof 4 valve engine.

Thankfully, the Dellortos are infinitely tunable if you get the choke size right for the expected use of the engine.

Cheers,
