The first thing that stands out to me is the 32/36 weber. Having had a shit load of experience with these on other engines you can't make anymore than around 140hp at the flywheel with these as they are just unable to flow enough air. You end up with a situation where no matter how big a jets you put in it the engine will keep leaning out because you get choked flow in the venturi. I can explain the fluid mechanics behind if you want but suffice to say if you want more than 140hp you need to go to a 38 DGAS carb.

Cheers
Paul

But he said it's didn't do much until 5500rpm, Piazza makes good power all through its rev range.
