Well they come with twin 40mm solex's ?
40mm webbers will make it rev harder more power
dont know the specific's but webbers shit over solex's

So the 40mm Webers flow more air than the 40mm Solex's which are exactly the same size? Right...

Well it's easier to find bits and pieces for Webers, they'll most likely produce exactly the same amount of hp, but I've always been under the impression that webers are a bit more refined, sometimes they'll produce a better torque spread if they are tuned properly.
They are pretty much the same though, Webers are just more popular and they still make jets etc for them.

I would say "extremely similar shit different smell" myself.
I wouldn't expect HP gains up top. HP is all about the amount of air flow into the engine, and as Norb pointed out -> there is, for all intents and purposes, no airflow difference between 40mm solexes and webers (they are choked the same amount)

Oh, and by the way, if you decide you don't want the webers I'll take 'em for whatever they cost you + freightage.... (they aren't too easy to find in adelaide).
Although, depends what condition (^_^)

Both will flow the same amount of air, so both engines will have the same high end power.
But the Webers have better progression and tuning abilites, meaning the engine will be more responsive and have better low end torque.

Ditch em both and chuck in a 1G 
Seriously, the Solex's arn't too bad. Get them tuned properly and they will perform just as well and you know,.....They will even sound the same as webbers.
If you were using them on a race track you might see a little better throttle control, but that has more to do with the fact that when people pay top dollar for webbers they don't skimp on the linkeages.
I had an 18RG RA28 running solex's and a mate of mine had an 18RG RA23 with webbers. Both pretty much standard. My car was heavier but pulled harder. Why?? because my car was tuned well and hadn't had some half arsed webber conversion done.
Spend your money on a decent tune up.
