What do you want for the 40s

What motor are you running? IDAs are actually overkill on 90% of projects. On a sand car you want a progressive carb not a full bore dragster carb like IDAs.

My motor is a 2275 10:1 with an FK-87 cam. Heads are stock Volkswagen castings that have been welded and ported to as big as they can get. The valves are S.S 48mmx37.5mm with relocated spark plug holes. The springs are K-motion 800. Full circle crank and straight cut gears. 48 IDAs can be used on motors as small as 1600cc. They need a lot of work to make them work but they can. The 48 IDA venturis can be changed along with different emulsion tubes and jetting. There is also an old racer trick  that is now common but that is to drill a third progression hole to ease into the transision from the crack of the throttle to mid throttle. They can be used on the street easier that way. I have been playing with Volkswagens my whole life, my Dad used to race them back in the 70's-80's. Progressive carbs work in the sand they just don't make enough power. 48 IDAs will make more power than any other down draft carb, that's why they are so sought after. My sand car weights roughly 800lbs and the 2275 with the 48's will make horsepower will into the 200's .

The 40's are still on my 1915 for the moment until I can find another pair of 48's

I hear you my friend Steve jones he ones baja worxs had a set of 48s but he wanted big bucks for them ill see if he still has them
