I have read a bit about Webers, most books say when tested you get about =
the same HP out of an SU or Stromberg, but the Weber may be puts out a =
few more HP on a very highly developed engine, but not much difference =
in street driving. Real world I think people like the difference in =
feel because the Weber has an accelerator pump that literally squirts =
fuel down the throat when you hit the throttle, and so it has a nice =
feeling of immediate power on tip in.
I would agree that for some people it is eye candy under the hood, but =
also I think there is a mindset of people who prefer the webers to =
"fiddly" SUs and Strombergs, unless you are really good, or lucky, =
tuning can involve some trial and error, some people don=E2=80=99t like =
fiddly things, and Webers are more "set and forget" (although in reality =
if you get SUs right, they are too) even though the setting in the =
Webers can be a royal pain, as Randall mentioned.
I finally had a car with a Weber for a while, thought it was OK, still =
like my SUs, really a pretty nifty type carb, which gives a good =
combination of power, economy and reliability.
Oh yes, you will get worse gas mileage with your Weber, or at least most =
folks do.
