I dont think are going to occur that often in a daily driver. DGV's dont
seem to be hugely liked here, and almost 100% of the responses I saw said
that properly configured SU's are better. the HS6 SU's suffered from the
same topheavy problem (According to the Burgess tuning book) Also Crossflow
heads suffered from the same problems at a high dollar point. >>

In the DGV's defense (not that Weber needs a defense) In a Midget 1500, the
DGV is a much better choice than the original, single Zenith Stromberg in USA
spec. A pair of SUs is probably better than a single Weber, but more
expensive, considering I already have the DGV! You are correct about DCOEs.
