A: Redline doesn't think the 38 is too much for a Montero with 2.6L!

If you just want to drop one on take a look at the Weber 32/36 DGEV or
the 38 DGAS.  The 32/36 is a progressive so it will help out on mileage
and help with power when you punch it.  The 38 is a synchronous, meaning
both venturis open at the same time and rate.  Won't help gas mileage as
much, but will give a bit more power.  I put a 38 on my 258 and it made
a tremendous improvement.  It's pretty expensive though, if you can find
one used it's probably a bargain.  Also, the 38 might be a bit too big
for a 232.

Their site isn't that great for navigation but there's a lot of
information there, you just have to look for it.  Hope this helps.
