search my old threads, I did a side-by side comparison of the BV's a couple of years ago on a fresh engine (I did timed and GPS'd runs with both carbs) - without the higher-flow exhaust system found on the 88's (the only year of the big BV carb coincidentally) the differences don't really warrant the swap. With a less-restrictive exhaust though, there is a definite difference, just bear in mind that if the exhaust stays stock you're going to run really rich and only see any type of gain at wide-open throttle (not worth the sacrifice IMHO)
