I'll always rather the sound of a Side draft weber at full throttle then an efi motor 
|
Quad throttle EFI sounds every bit as good as twin sidedraughts! Throttle response is just as good too. The best of both worlds. 
As for cost, the difference between well setup twin sidedraughts and a decent EFI system isn't much these days. In fact in some cases EFI can be cheaper! Keep in mind that a pair of Weber sidedraughts costs around $1500, and then you've got to pay someone to tune them properly. Hardly what I'd call "cheap"!
I had to make a choice a few years ago when I realised the factory Solex's on my 18R-G were beyond repair - should I fork out for 45mm Webers or convert to factory EFI? I chose the latter, and it ended up costing me less than $500 total. The grumpy old 18R-G now starts and idles like any modern EFI engine, gets twice the fuel economy, AND has more power from idle to redline! It's possible that the Webers might have given me a fraction more peak HP, but at the expense of mid-range drivability. That might be worthwhile on a race car, but for a street car? No way, EFI every time.
