Ernie, Hows it. It would depend on the course. At Le Mans they have that long straight called "The Mulsanne that can make you or break you time wise. The fastest car on that part of the course had a distinct advantage and was usually a front runner or winner. If your talking 48s then a 4bbl seems to be the way to go. But many road courses the Webers have an edge. Their throttle response and torque gives them an edge especially in passing. Thats why Ken Miles begged for them to be put on his car. Here ya go Ernie, wanna see what the Mulsanne Straight looks like in a Porsche 956 doing 246 mph down the straight?
