There is some debate around as to whether the twin SUs or
the sidedraft webers give more power. The Webers give you
a lot more adjustability which is both a curse and a blessing,
but for really hot cars with big cams this is likely important,
much less so with relatively typical cars.
However the downdraft weber is very much not a performance
carb. There would certainly be some performance tradeoffs
going from a dual SU rig to a single downdraft.
