I agree with Robert. Unless you do a total engine Webers are not the way to
go. Fuel delivery and Ignitiona are two quick horsepower options. If you
want to go a little farther add a mild cam dual valve springs header and
electric fan and the Tr-6 will really move for a street car. All that for
less than a dual Weber set up.
