The standard Weber would still be in the top 3 at least. Probably top one when you consider cost.

I mean, it's what goes on the high performance 2.0 Ford engines out of the Pinto/Mustang II. I believe it's also what they use on the top of the racing Cosworth engines that were pre-EFI.


It's arguably the best 2 barrel carb out there. There are some that would out perform it at the top end of BHP, but they are prohibitively expensive.

You can't go wrong with the 32/36 DGV Weber. Either with manual or electric choke. Your choice.
