That's what I love about my set-up. The torque is incredible with the Webers. The power delivery is very linear; no big top-end rush like you get when the secondaries open. Just linear power (and LOTS of it) until it's time to shift. I haven't really noticed any roll off but I tend to short-shift around 5500 RPM or less anyways when I'm running it 'hard.' I guess I could be shifting at that range because that's where the seat of my pants says it's time rather than taking it out to redline.
