Hi All,
That is correct, a pair of HSR 42s IIRC.
Don is in China on business at present. He had a lot of success with
the Revmaster slide carb on the 6 cyl Jabiru, picked up 300rpm over the
stock Bing. That led to twin HSR 42s for the RX8 engine. The continuing
computer problems with FI and the worry of high pressure fuel in the
cowl were significant factors in the decision.

Dave,
Having had to deal with many carbs and FI systems over the years I would
respectfully disagree that carbs are safer. While there is higher
pressuure fuel in a FI there are systems designed (hoses and ends) to
deal with it. The float valve in any typical carb is the weak link. The
fact that the gas is pumped in by "only" 6 PSI is little comfort when you
have an engine fire. In fact if turned off the FI system provides less
to burn. (No float bowl)
