If its only a track car then carbs would give you more power than a standard injection set up

Most 2lt blacktops will put out about around 150/160bhp if properly set up on bike carbs some people say more, some less

Im running carbs on an st170 engine at the moment and have been in a 2lt blacktop on carbs and the throttle response is superb

Im using zx6r carbs/megajolt which seem to work very well, zx9 carbs are popular too

If going bike carbs remember to factor in the cost of a rolling road tune to get them running properly, you can get them somewhere near diy style as its been done so many times you will be able to fit some new jets and download a suitable map but to get the best out them it needs doing properly on a rolling road
