Kelvin - toss the Weber and fit some HS6 SUs - lots easier to tune and
virtually a toss up for power (Weber gives a bit better top end, the SUs seem
to give a little more midrange torque, depending on tune.
Having said that, I have to admit to using Webers on both my race cars, but
then both of them have the number of intake ports God (who no doubt drives a
Twincam) and Abingdon intended them to have, so I can run twin Webers on them.
Good advice to Larry, BTW.
