I also have to question the initial expense of Weber's plus the added expense of extra jets, choke tubes and whatever other $$ items are needed to get it operating correctly. I understand the "WOW" effect when he hood is opened but if the effect is that important, why cover them up with a hood? It was mentioned that the originals raced with the Weber's rather than a carburetor and I suppose there is an advantage in the racing environment however that environment rarely goes below 3K rpm. I might see 6K for 10 seconds on a long freeway on ramp a dozen times a year and for that my $350.00 Holley DP does just fine. As far as efficiency goes, carburetors are pretty much a somewhat controlled fuel leak compared to FI.
I understand the desire of the Weber's and appreciate the visual effect but I really have a hard time wraping my mind around the performance gain over a 4bbl in a street vehicle.
Just another opinion.
