hi there

Webers win hands down.
Kads are ok - but Webers are better (and dearer)

have a read here

are you planning on bolting these on your self???

If you are then perepare for a learining curve on jetting.
Although it is a bolt on thing it is not THAT simple.

If you are paying someone - be prepared.

Will it increase power??

Well - YES.
Make sure you already have extractors. Otherwise you will be choking the motor.
If a 1600 try and find some IDF 36's - to me they are the best choice. They are ex-Alfa carbs

Have a read of some of the other stories on Aircooled.net tech articles.
