Ea82 vs 1600 dual carb type 3

satori - May 22nd, 2009 at 09:59 PM

Hi guys. I am in the process of buying GtMAC's fasty which has a in82 in it. I have never drove a ea82 suby before so dont know what to expect. At the moment I have a squareback with a low k's 1600 dual stock carb twin port which runs really well. So not sure wether to put the 1600 into the fasty or keep the ea82 in it. Will there be much difference in power. Any thoughts about this would be great.
