Ferrari, Lamborghini, Cobra, GT-40, Webers, Webers, Webers. My dream Pantera engine has always included four Webers.
I picked up a Hall manifold a while back and have been looking into Webers to fill it out. I found a guy with two Chevy circle track set-ups, and while he was unwilling to part with them, we got to talking about tuning and such and he made some interesting points.
On a road course race track the elevation changes no more than a few dozen feet. You can tune a Weber set up to run optimum for each cylinder and taylor that tuning to each track.
I live in Colorado at an elevation of around 4000 ft. The canyons of the Rocky Mountains are just 25 miles away. Driving around here, the elevation can change by 10 thousand feet in a hour or so.
Is a Weber set up even sane or reasonable for me? My friend suggested that setting it up for this altitude and then running to Las Vegas might result in a lean-out condition that could burn up an engine!
All this has me thinking. Can any of you that have run Webers on your Pantera give me your insight and experiences?
I may have a Weber manifold for sale soon!
Mooso.
