    Is it true?

    Is it true that putting a weber carb will boost the A20a1 from 98 hp to around 120? Is there a noticeable drop in gas milage. Will I still probably pass emissions?

    Actually, it could be possible, the stock carb is a total POS. The Weber flows much smoother and a larger volume than stock. If you get your manifold bored, that could add some more hp, as the stock manifold is crappy too.
    Good bye to the 1989 DX Type R. Hello 2001 LX.

    Well, someone told me that the weber boosted the A20a1 from 98 to 120 hp. I was skeptical thats why I asked. About the gas milage. Has anyone who switched to a weber noticed a change in gas milage? Has anyone gone through emmissions testing with a weber on?
