I have been interested in the Webers because of the authenticity, the look, and the sound. Not having much experience with carbs (I didn't pay much attention in my youth), I thought it would fun to become immersed in them and learn how to make them run well. I have done as much research as I can thus far, but I have a real world question:
I live at 800 feet in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains in VA. In 25 minutes I can be at 4000 feet. The weather ranges from 95 F in the summer to highs in the 20's in the winter. My car will see a mixture of street and open track time (no racing). Assuming I have a well built, well set up 302 with webers, how much tweaking would I really have to do to keep them running nicely throughout these conditions? Am I a fool to even consider them (lack of experience considered here...) Other options would be a stacked EFI or the Mass-flo EFI. I am not going to use a standard 4-barrel Holley or similar. I don't mind some tinkering, I just don't want to spend more time under the hood than behind the wheel once the car is done.
Thanks for the input,
-J.
