They sure do look impressive! I get kids at shows who ask me about them-and
ask me to fire it up so that they can hear it-never heard a Weber before!
Dave's thinking about going dual now.
If I have two Webers on my bored out 1500-I'll *have* to go to an O/D
transmission then, won't I?
Is there anybody else out there who has two Weber DCOE 45 side drafts on
their 1500? Feedback?
The gas mileage I get now is low-I like to compare it to that of a new Jag
XK8! (Too bad Chevron doesn't give out frequent flyer miles!)
Thanks
Laura G. and Nigel
