Webers
Dreamt about this for a while, and finally took the plunge this Summer. It is NO WAY near as easy a swap as some advertise. Quite a few things had to be fabricated to switch from the intake/carb that came in the box from Ford. Cobra Automotive in CT had it for close to 2 months.
Just a few hours of seat time so far, but I can tell you for sure it transforms the car. In 3rd gear, you don't really steer the car you hold on for life. And it looks sick.
I'm including the 'before' shot with the Demon carb, fresh from Performance Engineering in Ross OH from a few years ago.

I have wanted to do that for years but just haven't made the jump even though I have had several opportunities to pick up a set up for cheap. Maybe as soon as I finish some of the projects I have going on now I can do that.

There is a rather steep learning curve with webers and 8 stacks. It's not a simple bolt on week end operation. But, once you get it working right, it sure is fun.

I thought the cam needed to be selected for Webers?
Looks fantastic, and I love the Black!

It will run on almost anything you put in there. But if you have a wide LSA it will run a lot better. Part of the learning curve. |

webers are awsome! Make sure you have a good halon fire bottle. I put a 5lb
Safecraft in mine.
