Bike carbs are not the answer, its hard enough tuning bike throttle bodies for a smooth and fuel efficient drive with programmable efi (i should know im in the process of doing just that) let alone carbs that have very little tunability, Turbo is a far better solution, better fuel economy and drivability, even upto 200bhp on std internals (done that too, twice) 145bhp from a 2 litre petrol car is poor, most are 150+ out of the factory (clio sport, cav red top, escort rs2k for example) what are they std? 130bhp? i doubt you would really feel 15bhp increase in power tbh
