Depends :)

If you were chucking a BOA/ BOB into a TVR wedge or scimitar, it would solve a lot of headaches quickly.....

.....And lose at least 50 BHP into the process, not too sure about the "quickly" either, by the time you've set them up and got the jetting correct.

Then theres the Ignition, which would still need the ecu, and I dread to think what the fuel consumption would be lol

cant see you loosing 50bhp :-/ personally i'd think maybe a squeeze more bhp due to good flow but i agree the ignition time would need some work - most likely use a third party spark controller such as megaspark or omex, etc.

Fuel consumption ? welcome to GPM (gallons per mile) territory :o lol

I agree with pinto - I think you'd gain something around 20bhp using carbs (or itb's) over the stock fuel injection set up.

Well I know nothing about it but I'd love to hear the noise it makes! ;D
