Right, all around. The 32/36DGV Weber is not a power
modification. It is a convenience change. The little
DGV works just fine if you keep the screwdrivers in
the toolbox. Webers - even the little ones like the
32/36DGV - are good machines if left unabused. My
Ferrari has four, dual choke 40DCNFs Webers. I tuned
them when I first got the car in 1997 and haven't
touched them since!
