I need everyone to vote so i can tally up the winner.

A reason for ur choice would be good too. common guys.

From what I was told by a carby specialist the downdraughts are better because the dd manifold has a better path for the air to follow into the motor compared to the sidey

The experts at Liddles also told me that dd is better, primarily because the manifold flows better than the S-bend manifold needed for the side draughts. They were chuckling at me for having sidies. If you could engineer in a remote master cylinder so you could have a straight manifold then the sidies would be better

side draughts are good for a suck through turbo set up, otherwise downdraught.

for a low budget and a simple fix, go the downdraught.

for a higher cost and a more complex fix, go the sidedraught.

my opinion,
