Fires are a concern but the only way to run air cleaners with Webers is to run a Weber cam.
The point of that cam is to reduce if not eliminate the reversion.
I don't know about the wear and tear on the engine with open stacks is a very serious concern? I do know of quite a few Cobras and Shelbys running around for twenty or thirty years with just screens on the stacks.
There are always collateral issues created with going other than stock.
Running IR carburetored setups have issues that you could never have conceived of until you let the genie out of the bottle.
I suppose, "you pays your moneys and you take your chances"?
Bosswrench is not speaking untruths.
As the Sargent said "be careful, it's dangerous out there?"
