- Hi Mike, Why go for Webers when the SU-HS4 or (H4?) give a nice broad power band, whereas the Webers supposedly have a sharp narrow frequency range. That could make them ineffective. What's your opin

- Webers don't drift out of tune, are less prone to leaking and produce more HP and they sound a whole lot better :-) Seriously, the mistake most people make with webers is not setting them up properly

- most serious engine guys can get more power out of a race engine with SU's than a single weber. Comptune is an example. But it takes a long time, a dyno, several thousands of dollars, and a skilled m

- Huh? Sounds pretty backwards to me. From everything I've heard, Weber's are a bitch to set up right, but make a bit more HP on highly modified engines. From my experience, SU's are far easier to set

- Notice Brian said twin SUs vs a single Weber. With split webers you'll make more power again. The reason is almost certainly due to the shape of Weber manifolds The distance b/n the inlet ports on th

- Carb's are interesting things. To your points - dyno's don't lie. And top engine guys, of which I only know of two or three, can always get more HP out of an ultimate racing engine on HS2's than they

- I agree, and think your experience is pretty normal - a 45 weber is TONs better for potential power than a STOCK pair of SU HS2's, and the Weber has accelerator pumps, which make a big difference in
