If you’re looking for sexy, go with an Individual runner EFI system. Many to choose from and the controllers are getting very better and cheaper all the time. Still expensive to do correctly, but its getting better.
A word on Weber’s: They are cool to look at…on a self in the garage!
They are hideously finicky and sensitive to EVERYTHING. If ever a car part could be said to have WICKED PMS, its Weber’s. Even the guys that LIKE (never love) them will say, “Yea they are a lot of work..”
Years ago a good friend had a completely gorgeous, ultra sweet, magnesium, side draft Weber rig on a pretty bad a$$ (for the time) small block Chevy. He would say “it’s a Super model…. Cool to look at, just be thankful YOU don’t have to live with it” It’s long gone now and much better as a memory!
There was a time 45 years ago when Weber’s offered a performance advantage and on a race car, might have been worth the effort. Not anymore LOL! You can easily make the power with other set-ups and not have to screw with it constantly.

Well said and so true
