Sure, happens all the time. Webers are directly tunable. Once you understand
them you can make them do exactly what you want. SU's and other altitude
compensating constant velocity carburetors are less tunable, but their
simplicity and automatic nature make tuning much less important.  That
doesn't give a horsepower advantage to either.

I am a little late with this response.  Knowing nothing about Webers, how
can they be easy when Kas was carrying a brief case full of jets around with
him? 
 This Datsun 2000 racer had both SU's and Webers that came with his car.  He
started racing with the SU's and then tried the Webers.  His times then
dropped and he couldn't make the Webers work.  Finally, he returned to the
SU's and his times went back up.
