After a bit of advice chaps, thoroughly enjoying the Formosa and been out in it pretty much every weekend throughout the summer and its great but the only thing I would like to improve is the top end speed.
Engine is the Vitesse 2.0l straight 6 but it seems to be struggling at about 4000 - 4500 revs (70mph) it feels as though its air or fuel starvation as the engine seems to have plenty more to give but feels restricted. The carbs are twin Stromburgs but they are a bit worn, I bought a replacement parts kit and a 7mm reamer but it just fell in the bore so lots of wear. my question really is has anyone put tripe SU`s or triple Webers onto a GT6 and does it increase performance, acceleration through the gears is great its just top end that is lacking. I want to get it on a few track days next year but a bit nervous its not quick enough and I would just be a rolling road block
