[ROVERNET - UK] Re: Help! Intervention needed! OT

[Scott's Old Auto Rubber]

Absolutely, 2"carbies won't do much on the P6B 3500 unless you put 
extractors and larger bore exhaust system on and SD1 heads, or at least a 
port and polish, then you notice a difference, especially with a better 
distributor.
