IDAs on an almost daily driver

What's all this litres and Kilometers stuff? Miles per gallon is what you mean surely? :)

My 2176 with IDAs, did 10 pr 100. With three passengers on the motorway and 10 - 15 minutes of burnout... ::)
Wow, that's quite convincing for me.
Is there a big difference in performance between IDAs and DRLAs?
What would I have to do to succesfully weberize my 1914cc?
Just put 'em on, I know, but I mean to fully use the IDA advatages? Increase C/R? Put a wilder cam and straight cut cam gears? Maybe bigger rockers? ( connecting rods are bone stock, so I should use the hardened, I think) Would a stock tranny last longer than few hundred miles?
I have 40x37,5 modified VW heads, Scat C35 cam, 9,2:1 compression ratio and 1,1:1 bolted rockers.
Could you plese give me a good advice?
Georg/DFL:
@Rebel: IDAs show their full potential in high revs. If you engine is limited through the cam too lower revs than a different cam that could be used up to 7000 to 7500 rpm would be preferable. BUT – even if you have them solely for posing, WHY NOT? They are the most sexy carbs of all times! ;D

@ Mat: I heard you always talking about pints per evening, not miles per gallon... ;D

Nah... I consider cal-look as an certain attitude, that doesn't really go together with posing.
I was just wandering if IDAs on my engine would be effective. You say, thet not really, so I'll better stick to DRLAs ( at least to the next major engine upgrade)

Keeps me from running lean! ;D As it happens it looks like the UK is only inches away from being fully metrificated.
Drove my DRLA motor for possibly the last time at the weekend, got to pull it in the next few days and make some changes including some IDA's. I think I'll miss the DRLA's but I need more power to overcome the GT ratios and the IDA's will work better with the new set up.
