If I can do a weber so can you!!!!!!!

I have long lusted after the Webers, and figured that would be my choice when I do my big-block build. Then I talked myself out of it, figuring a single 4-bbl Holley would suffice.

This thread is really making me re-think it. The Weber really set-up is honestly what I really want, but I'm basically letting myself get intimidated by the folklore (and some reality, I'm sure) that surrounds them (i.e. you'll spend all your time tuning instead of driving...).

Two questions then, if I may:
- which book(s) should I read up on to learn and decide?
- since I'll be using an FE engine (either a worked 390 or a 428), what considerations should be made for the engine buildup (cam profile, head tricks...).

Sorry for the moderate hijack, but thanks just the same.

Good for you guys. I did the same thing, wanted, waited, studied and then did it!! I don't think I'll go back to the 4bbl any time soon. The performance of the 48 IDA's is stunning. Still a little tuning to do, but for now I'm sticking with them. A blast to play with.
