I have spent alot of money & time with these webers ( which I am sure most weber owners have) but I am still not seeing the benifits of the webers.

Virgin shortblock, ported, polished, matched, free flowing pipes ... sounds very, very nice. Again, I don't think the cam is your problem. To give you a rough benchmark, I run a stroked and bored 428 so the cubes are 447. I have a solid, flat tappet cam (245/525) that I would describe as mild. I do not have Webers; I have an old-style Holley 3310 (4160, with one metering block) -- a child could set it up. I put out 450HP using both mufflers and a water pump. Torque is just under 500 ft. lbs. I can't imagine your engine, with the Webers all in synch, not matching these numbers or beating them. Webers are absolutely gorgeous to look at -- no doubt about it. But they can be a nightmare to get, and keep, in synch. I don't know who the Weber experts are here on CC, but if that were my engine I would be inclined to fly them down for the day and pay them to teach me what I needed to know to get them set up right and to keep them that way. In view of what you've already got in that engine, that's a relatively cheap expense.
