Default webers cost me HP?

I am building an engine for my new GT 40 that will be based on a 8.7 deck hieght (between an 351 and a 302 block) that I was planning rev past 7500 rpm. This is a race motor that will spend 90% of its time on the track. This is my delima. I want an original looking car and I really like the webers. However the cam that I have to run with the webers must have a shorter duration to control the overlap. Webers don't like overlap. Is it true that the webers will sufficate a high reving motor? Will the old holley/victor intake combo outperform the webers? My car runs awesome with the webers right now but it is a HD roller that is all done at 6500.
