Reply to "Weber 48 IDF intake manifold group buy opportunity"

Hello Marcus,
Yeah, the carbs would be included, as well as an individualized consultation for the application.... maximum height, street or track,cam grind,exhaust, high end power vs. good manners, velocity stacks or air cleaners. A big deal for me is adjustment for the altitude I'm at.
I didn't talk to them about constructing an intake vacuum plenum but plan to today.
My understanding from them was that the cost could vary a little with the individual setup.
As you know, there are many variables...main and idle jets, venturis,emulsion tubes, air collectors, that all interact in a complex way, and will each cost us $100-$200 to change out on our own. I've still got $250 worth of main and idle jets in a baggie from my last project.
There's also the issue of origin of the Webers...Spanish or Chinese?
Just like you, I don't want to throw any extra money at the problem. The way things are going on my project,It's all going to get thrown somewhere.
But I figure it's worth $500-$800 to me to get the system somewhere near right when it hits my door.
Let's keep working together to find the right combination of cost and service. I agree $2800 sounds like too much, but just speaking for me, I'd like to work through somebody that can do more than just sell the parts. Maybe there's someone out there that can do both.
Just out of curiosity...how do you plan to set your Cleveland up? I'm getting ready to buy ignition parts and am bewildered at the choices.
My engine (depending on the Webers!)is going to be on the soft side...310-330hp I'd guess, mild street cam, 4V iron heads, period Ford "factory headers"...
Thanks, Ed
