Well, it is certainly an interesting mix of new tech (VVL) and old tech, sort of like a pirate ship with laser beams. From a realism standpoint, this engine would have most likely only existed in a narrow time frame between the late 80s and early 90s. On the other had, it does look very well tuned, and fuel economy seems decent for a carburetor. Not bad, sir. ;)

Interesting. I think DFI would help it better, but if you want to go carb on me, then maybe run it on higher octane with more compression or higher timing?
