I like CIS, and my comments should be taken in that light. Nevertheless, Bruce Anderson says that among upgrades for 3-liter engines, Webers 'feel' like an additional 50 hp. I think this may assume that the 3.2 liter P&Cs are installed, etc. But performance engine folks will all tell you that throttle response is greatly improved with carburetors, causing this '50-hp illusion. In actual fact, carburetors do not increase hp, in fact they probably do not meter or atomize the fuel as well as injector systems do.
I'd agree whole heartedly that carburetors look and sound much better. All in all, I'd probably put Webers on my car if I had a pair. But there are other upgrades I will spend money on first.
