Lectron Makes one bad racing carb. Used in lots of drag racing, A dodge neon I know of ran 4 lectron 50mm carbs, 1 per cylinder and got 450hp at the crank out of the motor. Car ran low 10's with them.
They have sizes starting at 30mm and going to 50mm in 2mm increments.

You can contact their dealer at:
Fast By Gast
120 Industrial Drive
Grand Island NY 14072
1-800-866-3880
visit our website: www.fastbygast.com
email us: fbg1@aol.com

or lectron direct at:
lectroncarbs@msn.com

Tons of racing guys swear by them. Never used one however but they are supposed to be the bomb.
my 2 cents

hey, looks just like my bike, but stock.

as far as i know, there is no next size up. however, if you take the stock heads and port and polish the intakes, you could concievably go up another millimeter or 2. if the size increase is 2mm then the next usable size would be 34mm.

it is not recommended to go beyond the intake bore size.

my guess is the price is for each carb times 4.
