Not Ranked
The late Ak Miller used to run a small-block Ford powered special in the Pike's Peak Hill Climb for years. Won it many times. He ran Webers. Holleys are great carburetors and we've all had them. Shelby ran Webers on the Cobras and Ford GT's. Are Webers simple? No. Are they for everyone? No. Are they more expensive? Yes. What it all comes down to is personal preference like any other issue regarding high performance cars. The bottom line is I'm happy I chose the Webers and feel it was right for me. It took some time to get them dialed in but the rewards, at least, for me, were well worth the time and expense. And I totally agree with you Silverback 51 as to the overall satisfaction of fine tuning an engine by the seat of your pants. That's the way we learned how to do it years ago and it's becoming a lost art.
