SD1 Vitesse TP bits

A complete set of Twin Plenum injection bits - ie inlet manifold and
above, and all the electronics, hoses etc, has just made over 650 quid on
Ebay. The same bits for a single plenum make perhaps 120 quid...

I was watching that and wondering what makes a TP setup so desirable. Apart
from being rarer than SP's
IIRC Tom Walkinshaw had them made so he could improve the engine tune for
racing purposes, but in a std car offer little performance gain, if any,
over an SP.
I can only assume that the buyer has tuning in mind.

Yes - didn't Rover stick with SP even on the larger engines? Certainly the
3.9. Jaguar used a TP setup with the same injection on the XJ6 4.2,
though. Perhaps it's of more benefit on a straight six.
