True, but chances are his engine builder properly sized the carb for his engine. If he posts his specs I'll plug them in to some of my software dyno simulators and then he can see what different changes will do to his torque curve. Those programs aren't perfect, but they tend to be more right than wrong. I think with a small block he can change the cam without having to pull the engine -- although I don't know that for sure. If so, a cam swap will surely cost less than a set of Webers.
