Matt,

I just have to say, your engine bay is truly a sight to behold!! An ERA with a 427SO and 48IDAs.....outstanding!!

My little mouse motor pulls like a mild BB with the Webers, that 427 of yours must cause blackouts on hard acceleration!!

On the topic of Webers with mild to wild cams, I happened to be standing near the SAI pit area at last year's Daytona Historic races as they were prepping the two GT40 Mark I cars for the next heat. Both cars had very highly tuned SBFs with 48IDAs. They started both cars within minutes of each other and I would guess by the sounds that both had very high compression and very agressive cams. The sound that came out of those two motors was nothing short of unearthly.....the snap and revving ability was astonishing, like a blown alky motor......I'm gettin' a chubby just thinking about it!!!

Btw, at this years Daytona historic races, I finally got to witness their full comp 427SC take hot laps.....even more impressive than the two 40s......my buddies and I thought there must be two of them out on the track the way it came around so quickly each lap!!
