Good point. Much more than that and the whole carb setup will probably not work and require a switch to fuel injection.

And I'll assert that none of these are a "4 day weekend" project. Mechanical installation is one thing but the tuning and other adjustments to the engine (including fuel flow and maybe even require new fuel pumps) are going to take more time than that, and also require expertise that will probably be best done by a speed shop. Consider that expert installation and tuning will probably cost as much as the unit.

I know a guy in Loveland that does really good work (he rescued the fuel injection on my Cobra) if you're interested PM me. I'll have to dig it up since it's been almost 10 years.
