Craig / Matt:
I just had the Ultimate Stage One kit from Brit-Tek installed. It includes,
among other stuff a Weber downdraft, new camshaft and distributor. At first,
I had the same experience as you - no get up and go. However, after
conversing with the Bob from Brit-Tek and advancing the timing a little, the
car pulls like a champ. Still have to do some minor tweeking, but it's going
in the right direction. The Weber should be set lean - will adjust this
shortly. By the way, the mileage quoted was in the 30mpg range. Will keep
you posted, if you want.

Craig:
I've had very similar problems as you with my Weber 32/36
DGV---poor fuel economy and lack of get-up-and-go. Why---I have no
idea--I've spent countless hours of tuning and talking to Weber
owners and have had no success. Right now I'm getting ready to put
my SU HIF4's back on as well.
