I posted an entry early afternoon but I see it isn't here so I musta done it as the site went down or something
There is a difference between DAILY DRIVER, street driven car and RACE CAR!!!
A Street driven car show be manageable in traffic--it doesn't matter if its driven every day or just occasionally, its manners must be civil to the driver not necessarily to other folks on the road.
A street car car be raced
A race car---is not civil anywhere at any time--it has no manners
Now for your car---Your cam is too big for the street---your carbs are too small for your engine---to drive your car on the street, you need a smaller cam and a bigger carb
To race your car on the track you need a bigger cam, improved brakes and better suspension along with some aero mods
I searched for the threads you have asking about weber carbs and there are more than 20 about various things--I read the answers and came to the conclusion that most of them are not answers to your questions nor or they a fix for your tuning problems.
The webers are impressive looking carbs on an engine but it needs to be only around 300 inches or less to work good. On an engine the size of yours, the individual venturi cannot flow enough air to feed your engine and the reverse flow out the runner on overlap goes back to atmoshere losing a portion of the charge on the way. A fuel injection unit is a different deal because the fuel is pumped into the intake charge instead of drawn by the venturi.
You have fought this issue for over a year and had other engine issues that possibly were a result of it. Please take them off and put a Holley on the car and smile---everyone that sees you driving will smile and wave at you and you will be happy
