Is the difference in >performance significant? you think that you have headaches now? Wait 'til you try to make that Weber DFEV try to do anything but bog, spit, backfire, give free gas to the wind gods, and freeze shut in the winter. HEED THIS WARNING! find someone to fix/tune your duals right. Then make real nice with this person. They will be your friend for many years to come. Tuning OEM dual carbs is an art. But, man, when they're right, you would laugh at fuel injection. These things are the smoothest things out there. And suprisingly good fuel mileage as well. They have power that fuel injection can't touch. I say keep 'em and treat 'em right. Well, you asked me. Ric VdubDude@aol.com
