Anyone know if dual 44mm kadrons would be about the same, performance wise as dual 40IDF's? I know one is a single barrel and the others a 2 barrel, just I was wondering since the 44mm kadrons are modified and beefed up 40mm Kadrons.

I think they're equivalent, but being 2BB, the webers will offer higher performance... at a price. BTW, my mustang-beating friend has Kads.

Yeah Im thinking of getting a set of Kads, there ALOT cheaper than Webers.
Oh, also on that note...umm new pics of my bug will be coming soon, I get my tax returns in couple weeks and when that comes, im going to go buy the stuff I need to make my bug driveable at least, then as time goes i'll start addding stuff to improve handling, a bit off topics but what would you recomend to improve handling, along with using 15x4.5's with 195/60's(im going to stay with them for a while)?
Also if you know, what combo does your friend have done to his motor, id like to have mustang catching power just to say hey i can keep up with your stang?

Is your car swingaxle or IRS? Im assuming it's a std, not a super
For handlig in my 90 std, swingaxle rear, ball joint front, i am going to add a camber compensator in the rear and a beefy swaybar in the front. Also im gonna use gas shocks in the rear, and hydraulic shocks in the front. Im also using dropped spindles (just arrived today ) and discs all around. Then i'm gonna go for fat tires.

My friend has a 74mm forged chromoly crank, 90.5 cimas, P&P stock heads with 43 x 37.5 valves, engle 120 cam, bosch 009 dist, 2 kadrons (dont know which # though) external oil cooler, high flow fuel pump, that rocker thing which name i still can't remember, and teflon piston locks. Stock doghouse, and lightened flywheel. Oh and he has a vw 1500 tranny

Yes my bug has IRS and also its a standard.
I was looking at the possibilities of a turbocharged motor, like a 1600cc,1776cc or and 1835cc.I read that there really reliable with a turbo, and good on gas if its a daily driver.Lowbugget has a under the decklid turbokit for the bug that looks pretty nice.Does anyone know of any other site that sells a turbo kit for the bug?
