I just got back from a cruise in the Cobra. There is nothing in the world (at least to me) like the feel, response, and SOUND of a set of Webers on a big block pulling up through the gears. Wide-open throttle will rip your face off!

Believe it or not, I've never used an LM-1. I know a lot of tuners swear by them but I'm an old school kind of guy and rely on throwback methods of getting my setup correct. It may take me a bit longer to get there but I feel a bit more connected to my engine.

I also have no first-hand experience with Weber look-alike fuel injection, however, a couple of people I know who have worked with them (Billy Andrews at HRE is one) said those systems are not strictly bolt-on setups and can be more frustrating to dial in than a set of Webers. I'm sure those systems perform OK once they're properly installed but it's hard to imagine FI giving me more performance than my 48's. The car is barely controllable when I boot it and that's with 3.31 gears and a Toploader.

What can I say, I think Webers are *****in'.
