 i think you are right about the dellortos/strombergs: i think it is the throttle responsiveness and not so much an increase in HP. If there would be any, then we are talking 5HP or so, but that is hard to notice.

i have some dyno figures from my new 2.2 engine, but that won't help you in your comparison either. I will scan it and post it none the less next week.

my 2.2L engine has 10.9:1 compr, JE pistons, lotus x drilled crank, 104/107 cams, ported head and inlet manifold and 45mm dellortos with 38 venturis. Output is around 215 BHP and around 185 lbs/ft torque at around 5500 rpm.  This is out of my head..

i will still run with the 13" stock wheels and current tires (185x13x70)

good luck with sorting out the gbox and good luck in racing your fine JH.
