As a novice Weber user the part about "boiling" fuel is interesting to say the least.

All the Holley's and other 4 barrel carbs I've used sit in the center of the intake manifold, where it is damn hot. But, I'm reading that Weber's have a boiling fuel problem more than regular 4 bbl carbs? Why? Bad design? This shouldn't happen.

I've got a set of Webers for my GT40 but I've always wondered why other than cosmetic reasons - my experience (limited but growing) tells me the 4 bbl will do better in drivability and CAN do just as well in hp if one if willing to give up a little (as the Webers apparently do).
