I don't know that I completely agree with this, since no sizes are
mentioned. With a 40 DCOE and the proper size chokes, a sidedraft can be
a very streetable, responsive carb from off-idle to the top end - albeit
with ~20% loss in gas milage. I have a 45 DCOE on a TWM manifold with
36MM chokes, and this works very, VERY well - it is MUCH more responsive
than the stock SUs. Many of the bad experiences with Webers on the
street are due to improper tuning; IMHO, setup with a rolling road dyno
is required to make this work.
Agreed that the downdraft is probably a better choice, tho.
