1.75 SU vs 45 DCOE Weber.

I have both carbs. But not on the same state of tune 1275s.
I can tell you that a 1.75 SU is far superior to a down draft Weber.
But as for the same state of tune 1275s, I have a buddy running a Mini
1275 about the same as my (old) bugeye 1275. He runs a 1.75 SU
I run a 45 DCOE. Both cars are about equal in pick up and top end.
The DCOE sounds better than the SU but the SU gets much better mileage.
About 5 MPG more.
Eventually I will try the 1.75 in place of my DCOE and will report first
hand any differences on the same engine.
The Mini owner used to run a DCOE but now he is strickly SU.

My observations
