Chump car/ 24 hours of lemons, webber 38/38. Looking for the extra few HP to keep up with sister 2.2L tii. Is milling off the choke assy a good or bad idea for increasing air flow? I know its a super common thing for the racing holley 4 barrel guys, i just wanted some input before i do something there is no going back on. Almost all of our races are warm weather, and i figure cold weather we would warm up in the pits with manual choke ie. hand over carb if needed.

Data point: I've seen fellow racers who've milled the top off their 2x38 carbs, but have not noticed them going any faster.

 

(Now, if you'll forgive the unsolicited information which doesn't directly answer your question....)

Proper jetting for the atmospheric conditions (corrected altitude) of race makes a noticeable difference. Of course, the driver and tires will be a major part of keeping up with the Tii - good luck. -KB

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
