Mike, your set up is really nice! Did you put the Weber assembly together yourself? I've spoken to Pierce and Inglese. Pierce if quite a bit cheaper. I too was thinking of having the carbs painted black and the manifold polished. Bill wants to port match the manifold, so I can have it shipped from California, get it ported and polished and sent it back for final assembly with linkage and fuel distribution added. Pierce uses black hose as opposed to the nice braided tubing you used. Do you think it makes sense for me to let Pierce do the intial work and then pull it apart myself and add the braided hose?

I've also been told that higher compression works best with Webers. Since Bill is doing the stroker thing, do you think a 10 or 10.5:1 would work best?

Thanks,

T
