RE:  Webbers

Yes, they look nice;
Yes, you getter better acceleration (due to accelerator jet design versus
variable choke);
Yes, they are better for fine tuning;
Yes, they breath better at higher RPM and you get better inertia ramming
effect;
Yes, they are trouble free when finally tuned;
Yes, they are fine on fuel consumption when driven passively....they are
pigs when driven hard;
Yes, they are very difficult, time consuming and expensive (due to variety
of jets required) to tune the first time.

Webbers are great once they are tuned.....however, they are MUCH harder to
tune than SU's or Stombergs,  Especially if your engine is modified.

I run Webbers and would recommend that they only be used if the engine is
significantly modified to take advantage of their benefits and if one uses
their car in that manner (acceleration and high rpm).

For the average person, I believe that SU's are a better compromise.

Consider triple double barrel side drafts like DellOrto's or Webers.
They look nice and are easy to service and relatively trouble free.
