I'm sure there are minor differences but something to remember... LC is allways overpriced. They dont offer -anything- that isn't overpriced. I would advise to avoid LC unless you have lots of money or simply can not get then item anywhere else.

I am sure a TRD carb is just as good as an LC.

I would recommend menuki or similar sidedraft carb with a 20R head. There are many performance carbs and manifolds for 20R motors. The 20R head will outflow the stock 22R by leaps and bounds. This pair would be a huge improvment. With a great dollar to HP ratio.

That seems to be the problem with this paticular hobbby. It costs more than a house... or at least an apartment.
