Note that I did not bad mouth Webers. I bad mouthed Webers together with CIS cams.

Webers with correct cams can be wonderful. But Webers with CIS cams will never be equal to a correct CIS car or an earlier Weber car that already comes with a correct cam.

As is, a 1973 US CIS car had 140 hp. A 1973 ROW car with carbs had 130 hp - and that is with a cam designed to work with the carbs. So the HP of a CIS car with Webers added will be south of 130 for sure - which is less than even the most base early 2.0 911. (Note, I believe the same impact is widely understood in the 914 world where injection is removed and replaced with carbs).
