You really must match the carbs to the engine! If you put big carbs on a stock motor you may see less perfromance! I doubt you could get to 200HP just by changing carbs. You will probably need higher compression and some head work to get there. You may want to talk to Ztherapy in WA (ztherapy.com) and Rebello Racing in Pacheco CA, they both have different Z Hitachi SU setups that will work for 200HP motor!

Actually, now that I think of it Rebello gets close to 200HP out of it SCCA ITS spec L24 motor with stock Z SU style carbs. I am not sure if they can raise the compression but I know they do a fair amount of head work.

Hope it helps!
