Stentor, may I ask what made you concerned that the 48's would be too small for your engine. Rokndad a few months back installed Webers on his 482 and I think he's running rich somewhat. I'm not an expert in any of this, but Rokndad's engine was making 640 HP before the Webers and, while I'm not sure, I believe he feels that the 48's are plenty for his engine.

I just have always toyed with the Webers idea, but darn that carb, it's so darn simple and it does such a great job.
