Seek opinions/experiences w/ Weber 32/36 DGV carb

I'm having fun with the SUs, but I am curious about the Weber conversion. Do they return more power or fuel economy (assuming no other changes and that they replace good SUs)? I like the idea of a staged carb (primary/secondary). How are it's manners on the road?

I could sell a Ford P/N Holley 4150 and a Carter AFB and have over half the BIN price.

Tom,

In a word, NO! :wink: I've got a DGV, and like it... but I think we're all pretty much agreed that, short of a DCOE setup, the SUs are the best setup, and preferable to a DGV (assuming good tuning, and comparable condition.)

My two cents,
Duncan

I think they are better on gas.

I'm happy with mine. Just keep in mind that they ship them to work on your ordered eng size no matter the state of tune or setup, so they tend to run rich I suppose it keeps the average guy from leaning it out and frying a piston. A little tuning and things are good to go. Parts a cheap and jets and such are easy to get. One carb to worry about. Unless your trying to get every ounce of power-Performance out of your car this is a great weekend runabout setup.Ive been running mine for 5 years no problems. 30- 34 MPG. With a 1098 it will probley bolt up and go on my 948 I had to lean it out a little.
