Webers sure look cool, but they simply don't have the leg-up on other induction systems.
Brent,

I am not so sure that the prior engine had this much torque. We will find out come June when it gets on the track at Mid Ohio. It will be a good test, some elevation changes, only one straight that you can get into 4th gear on, the rest if the course is primarily 2nd and a little 3rd gear. Appreciate the input.

Jim
