Unsure which new Carb to pick

I wouldn't worry about intake heat. But then, I also live in Georgia. But I wouldn't worry about it anywhere. Although it will be somewhat cold natured, it will warm up fine and run fine, especially with a larger, richer carburetor.

Yes, I would go with whatever size pipe the header collector is and not make a reduction there. Never been a fan of reducer collectors. After all, headers are a performance mod and if you're reducing the size of the pipe, how can that help performance?

I know all the exhaust experts will start talkin about back pressure this and that blah blah blah, but they don't their *** from a hole in the ground. Want more power? Bigger exhaust. Period.

Maybe the only exception being with a turbo build.

Fair enough...why ARE staged 2v's so rare? I mean, surely it'd give better mileage, and manufacturers are not required to make the primary smaller...is it just cheaper that way?

As for exhaust upgrade; would a good one mean modifying the pipe as well, or would a good manifold be able to bolt to existing one? What could one use to heat a non-stock intake?
