Tom,

I know the EFI systems can be made to run great and can be tweaked with a laptop, etc, etc. I like the Webers because they also can be made to run great, they look great, and that's what the original cars used to have.

There is no question that it takes some doing to get them right, but I have found that there are experts readily available on this forum who really know their way around Webers and are happy to help you out. Cal Metal and Enzo Alibrandi are two.

If you hit the search function for "Weber" you will see a ton of threads on a full range of topics.

I bought my system from Inglese who took all of my engine specs into account before designing the system and suggested a new cam in the process. With a few fits and starts, and one change of main jets and air correctors, I'm running like a banshee. Balancing is a snap. The real tuning challenge is getting the appropriate pieces into the carb in the first place. The increase in torque vs. my old Holley set-up is truly amazing.

In the past, the book on Inglese was somewhat mixed, but more recently they seem to be much improved, and they have been great to me. I think their new tech director, Dan Miller is very good at what he does and very accessible as well. I had one carb that refused to function properly and Inglese overnighted me a replacement without a whimper.

I understand that Roger at Pierce Manifolds is also very helpful as well as a good source for Weber systems and parts, although I have had no personal experience there.

In all I'm sure there are plusses and minuses whatever you do, but don't shy away from the Webers because you think they are too much trouble--they certainly don't have to be. Good luck what ever you decide.
