Hi Bax;
We should get together some time, it would be nice to see another early 911 in the area. My car has early S pistons for a 9.9:1 CR on the same gas as you and I've had no problems. I wouldn't sweat the 46mm carbs since you have them. They might be a little "over the top" for street use, but certainly not unreasonable. Keep in mind that Porsche used 46mm carbs on the 2.0 906 and R motors. Your motor us pulling 35% more air at the same rev's as the 2.0's, so I wouldn't worry about it unless the mileage or throttle response is killing you.

While Quicksilver may not be well known on this BBS, as you mentioned they are a very well known FF engine builder. With all the national championship engines that they've built, they do know how to build solid motors. They may not know all of the little speed secrets of some of the 911 experts, but I'm confident that they did a solid job on your rebuild.
