jeff, gunna be totally honest ere! ask Norrie bodger on ere, he as a malossi 220-t5 4th-t5 carb-Pm pipe...both of us were gone alongside each other 50-60, until we showed a bit of muscle and there was nothing innit upto 85's between the polini 220 v malossi 220 fact! whoever got there nose in front basically was first on or off the throttle...but in saying that he's faster than me from a standing start, malossi's are notoriously quick of the mark like!!!! my polini is low revving were as norries malossi's revvy and possibly more thirsty....bazman, ye dead right gadge, ye can't argue with GPS, but these 220/standard carb setups are f^"kking quick!!!!

Cheers Gadge, I got a malossi 220 which is long stroked and it pulls well once in the power but I think that the polini might be more drivable with more torque lower in the Rev range.Think it might be my next motor purely on the touring drivability factor.

Cheers Jeff

Anyone running this kit know if the carb inlet around the sealing pad requires modification or can it be run without?
