I got the carbs balanced and the car is now running.  I also want to say that you had

the mixture screws dialed in exactly.  While I tweaked them both up and

down, either way hurt, so they ended up exactly where you had them set.

There was no hesitation thru the transition circuits, no popping in the exhaust, the

car just wanted to run.

All in all, while this upgrade was labor intensive, it was one of the

cleaner installs I’ve done.  Everything fit, everything worked, and I’m sure

the carb linkage would have been spot on, if I hadn’t removed the carbs from

the intake to facilitate the install.

In any case, I’m glad I went with you on this setup as it’s been a pleasure

working with both the kit and with you.

Jim, feel free to use my comments.  I was very pleased with the whole

project.

A fast note to tell you just how COOL your 8-stack Weber induction set is!!  I’ve got it on display in my office.  Seems too pretty to subject to the grimey environs of a street racer… but I will anyway!!  I consider myself privileged to be an owner of such a rare piece of engineering.  Thanks a MILLION for creating this way cool stuff Jim.

My carbs arrived yesterday – you’ve probably heard this many times before, but

they look fabulous – like jewelry (at least they do to a petrol head like me)

Thank you for fabulous service and for being available in terms of communication, it gives me great confidence that if I encounter any issues, you’ll be there to help.

I’ll keep you posted with installation progress. Thanks again for a great experience in purchasing from you, it was pleasantly refreshing to receive the personalized support and benefits of your ‘weber wisdom’ we have had throughout the process.

In 1982 you built a set of weber 48’s (with 30 chokes and special jets) for my Ardun engine on my home built manifold. The first set of jets didn’t work well but you created a new set that worked fine. I always appreciated the personal service you gave me. I think you might be interested that after 40 years on the road (67,000 miles and 48 states) your setup is still going! Looking back I made the right decision on buying one of your systems.

Thanks, Dick Blaine

You built me a setup a few years back.  Best move I did on my 1933 HENRY FORD roadster.  Everyone at shows loves the look of the Webers. I do believe that it helped me win the Concorse de Elegance, St Regis in Dana Point.

The manifold and bits have arrived. It is a thing of beauty. You have done a great job for which I am very grateful.

Thanks once again.

Mark Elder

Holy smokes these look absolutely amazing  ……. I mean I’m speechless. Far more amazing in person than on the site. Your work is top shelf. Thanks so much for such a beautiful induction system. I look forward to keeping you posted and sending pictures upon installation.  Have a great weekend and take care!  

Sean McDougall

The car runs like a bat out of hell!!!!  It is so much smoother and faster than than the old tri power I had on the car…..Very fun to drive and I’m very happy with it!  Oh yeah, when I hit the pedal to the floor, my car takes off instantly with no hesitation and you can feel the torque!! Great sound too!!!

I just wanted to thank you for your fantastic work ! I received it on Monday and I’m in heaven. It is superb! I will send photos when it’s installed. Thank you a thousand times,

—– François Clavien, Switzerland

We finally got the intake installed two weeks ago & everything was going fine. Your documentation made setting up the carburetors a snap.

                                                                                                 –Jim Wak

All is well. 700 hp and huge torque at 6000 rpm…We did not spin it up any higher during our pull.  We did not have to change any jets or extra parts in the kit.  Thank you very much for a Weber build that was well done.

Brad Knoll, Wisconsin

Car is great and drives really well. I’ve never had pedal response like this.        

—–Ray Seider

Carbs arrived safe and sound.…they look incredible…thank you for including the manifold gasket…made life a lot easier not having to track one down. You are an artist.

Thanks again couldn’t be happier

Aaron Chepenek

Jim,

Jeffrey dropped the engine and carbs off at Lesco in San Luis Obisbo to have the manifold port-matched to the heads and flowed. The owner saw it and said “Jim Inglese must’ve built those Webers, they’re perfect.”

Aaron 

After 2 -3 years of running the original calibration, I got fed up with very rich idle and popping and burping going from the idle to the main circuit and called you up to order the “street” chokes, jets , correctors emulsion tubes, etc. It took me all of 45 minutes to change out the chokes, jets, emulsion tubes, air correctors, etc and the after syncing all four carb/8 throats, the car ran beautifully and still does.

Bob Natkin

Thanks for all your advice. I ran my Lotus at Blackhawk Farm Raceway on Sunday. I ran my personal best with a 1:25.218, two seconds faster than my previous best. The engine did not die, it ran stronger than ever. Thanks for all your help and advice. It took me four years to straighten the Webers out and you are the one who made that happen.

To the King of Webers!

Thanks

Tracy

Hi Jim.  I picked up the carbs & valve covers (from Canadian Customs) this morning and took the carbs and put them on top of the engine and am pleased to say they look fabulous!  I’m sure nothing else, including a blower, could look any more impressive.  There’s just nothing like a second childhood! 

More later.     —–Ken Moorehouse, Canada

The Webers look amazing!!

Thank you for the great work and attention to detail!!!

Shawn Lidon, Washington

Hello Mr Inglese,

We recently installed the Cobra weber setup with Daytona coupe stacks on a CSX8000. The system looks and sounds amazing. The car runs great. I just wanted to thank you for your help. I understand now why everyone in the Shelby world recommends buying from you.

Regards,

Brian Spatz

Hi Jim,

Sorry I did not send this sooner. I got the rebuilt Weber back in place and the engine

fired up for the first time in over 20 years.

Great job, Thanks.

Dan Moriarty

Jim,

Just wanted to let you know that the engine is finally together and I got it fired up this weekend. This thing sounds quite mean and I really can’t wait to get the car finished up just so I can see what this does on the street. I am impressed at how easily the engine fired up without having to touch the carbs at all, although I really hadn’t expected any less. You, sir, know your shit… As they say. 🙂

Anyway, I’ve included a link our YouTube channel with videos of the engine and intake. I hope you find them enjoyable.

Thanks again for a great product and great service.

Take care and God bless.

Here are a few photos of my 23 T roadster with a Chevy 383 stroker and 4×48-IDA Webers. I built in 1981 and still own today. Without the expertise of Jim Inglese it would not be functional today. I sent the Weber carbs and manifold to him along with the specs, and he re-jetted the carbs for me. When the carbs were returned to me all I had to do is bolt them back on drop in the distributor and set the timing. I have never touched them since. The response on these Webers is immediate and I couldn’t be happier! This guy is a Weber God!

Jim,

I just wanted to tell you that I am very impressed with the looks, performance, and the throttle response of these new carbs! You did a fantastic job on the build, matching to my engine specs, and the car runs better than I could ever have imagined. I can’t believe how fast the engine response is when I rev it up a little. It is instant, which surprised me since they are still attached to a standard 4 barrel manifold. I take my car to car shows and I’m sure that a lot of people will be asking about these carburetors, and I’ll be telling them who to call. Thank you Jim!

Good Afternoon Jim

I know we have talked a few times but I wanted to pass my success with the 8 stack system built for me.

Jim I am generally not one to sing the praises of any particular product, But the weber system is just that good. The 347 stroker in the Daytona when I bought it was great but no low end torque, by switching carburation to webers has lit up this engine. I now have torque from just off idle all the way up to 6500 it’s a completely different motor and a car that’s now much more fun to drive.

I just wanted to say thanks for such a great product and service. The whole process of build and ordering was a great experience Thank to both you and john

I have attached a number of pictures let me know if you need anything else

Mark C. Schlegel

Exxxxcellent work with John Van de Kraak on my Cobra, cheers mate ! Still a lot to go on, but it’s going to be absolutely bloody brilliant.  Hands up to James Inglese for keeping up such quality, it is tremendous.

Lionel Koyumba, France

We made it to the first car show with it.  Lots of attention!!  And a lot of comments on tuning the webers.  I read the writeup you had on your website before I went and was able to give a little more info to the guys asking.  Especially about having a correct tune makes them wonderful.  Two guys in particular were extremely impressed with the starting and throttle response since you tuned these based on engine and location values we provided.  I’m sure this is old hat to you, but very impressive.  They couldn’t get over how easy it started and ran.  

I am blown away at how the setup doesn’t seem to be affected by temperature or humidity like my old 4 barrels were.  Thank you thank you thank you!!    

Other than that, I’ve missed that sound they produce and can’t get over the different power bands they have.  Seems like the further you push the more they love to open up.  🙂  I feel like Tim the Tool Man when you rev the engine.

—Dusty Brown

Hey Jim,

I was able to finish (mostly) the tuning procedure today. That car drives great now! Like you mentioned, just the drivability has improved dramatically….she starts and idles perfectly when cold (for California), idles much smoother than before when warm, and the throttle response is wicked. Absolutely instant. I’m definitely going to need some stickier tires! 

Big nod to your tuning procedure though, it’s spot on.  —Kyle Schoenberger, California

Jim,

Installed your parts in the carbs set to your recommendations. I especially like the consistent torque values throughout the entire RPM range. I am sure this is due to the Crower Cam specs that you recommended to me.

You were also spot on with all of the parts you sent me for my 48 IDA Weber set up, with the

correct jets, holders, emulsion tubes, main jets, air correctors and accelerator pumps.

This thing started right up with very little adjustments. Thank you!! Jim, you are the Boar Hog when it comes to setting up Weber’s!!

Great job. 555HP/502 ft lbs.  Maintained those numbers throughout the pull to 6500 rpm. 

Again, thanks for all your help, —Tony Lewis (smallblock Ford 302/363 stroker)

Jim,

Carbs r on bubbletop everything went smooth. There were no surprises. U did a great job setting them up.  I drove it.  U.can lug it in 6th gear at 1200RPM’s and it pulls smooth. No chatter. Feels like fuel injection.

                                                                                    Tks, Joe Wanas

Jim,

Thanks for this 2xIDFs to 4bll setup. What attention to workmanship and detail. This SBC powered’39 plymouth rat p/u has never looked so good.

Thanks Again

Richard Hill

Hi Jim,

I can’t thank you enough for your parts and advise. At this point the engine is running awesome.  If I need any further parts to fine tune you will hear from me. You have saved me an impossible amount of time. If you have anywhere to post reviews or recommendation to your site I will gladly do it.

Best regards

Jon Gould

Jim
Your jetting was perfect. A dozen pulls were made on the dyno only adjustments that were made were mixture screws and linkage.  Nothing internal

Brad Knoll

Hey Jim,

Just wanted to say thank you for the awesome intake you built me in such a quick time frame!  It looks amazing and I am excited to get it installed when the car is ready….thank you again for producing such an amazing product.  I will make sure to send photos (hopefully this summer) once the project is complete.

Garrett Holm

Jim,

Finished the Unique Motorcar replica of CSX 2001 this week. I appreciate all of your help with the Webers. All of your calculations and parts were dead on as usual. The power out of the 302/ 362 Dart block and heads topped off with the Webers is crazy. The little guy is turning out almost 600 HP and sounds awesome. 

Thank you again.

Tony Lewis

Hello Jim, Just wanted to thank you on all your help with the Cobra I had here. You my friend are a gentlemen and a scholar.  Ended up working out fabulous. It made on our Mustang dyno 332whp and 343wtq. Its a small animal! Here are a few pics. She’s beautiful! 

                                                                                                            Gjon Vataj, CT

Aloha Jim,

Received the carbs with linkage today and the linkage looks SWEET !  Very nice job putting it together, it’s solid and with the adjustments available I should have no problem getting it to clear any obstacles…thanks for the clean looking linkage and I can’t wait to hook it up this weekend.  

Mahalo,

Wayne

Jim,  

The set up looks great, your linkage/brackets are well worth it. Turn around time couldn’t be better.  Dealing with you was nothing but informative, personal, and professional!! I will let you know how it runs, gonna take 30-60 days for me to get the car back together.  

Thank you!

Anthony

Your package arrived today.  Thank you.  

I warmed up the car, swapped the Idle jet holders.  Resynched the carbs (didn’t really need it, but wanted to be as perfect as possible), reset the idle screws (which took quite a bit to get just right, adjust and just again, double checking everything) and took it for a test drive.

WOW.  Smooth as silk, no hesitation, not ‘bobble’, just smooth responsive power.  I can’t tell you how it has transformed the way the car drives.  Instead of me being hyper focused on throttle control to minimize poor behavior, it just purrs.    I even tried to get it to misbehave, low revs high gears low speed, perfect.  Pulls smooth from idle, no issues. I haven’t opened it up yet to really try out the transition, but feel confident it will be fine. 

Thanks for the support.  Can’t believe the difference.  Just Wow.

Cameron Parsons       

Test ride 2:

HOLY SHIT BATMAN !!!!

Pulls harder from low RPM’s than ever.

No Studder

Makes more power over full range of RPM’s than ever did before – SCARY AT FULL THROTTLE

Evening out all the carbs exactly @ 7/8 it now runs very smooth, with no ratty tendencies

Feeling the exhaust output with my hands I notice it’s cooler than before jet changes and very even on both sides

Temp gauge runs about 10 degrees cooler now too @ cruise (180 vs 190)

Smells a bit rich in garage but hey, this is a hot motor with a big cam and heads.

Thanks so much Jim!  You are THE MAN!!!!

Best Regards,

Tim Mackey 

The carbs are here! To say that I’m stoked would be an understatement! I’ll start reading the owners manual and probably have some questions. The plan is to install them on Tue.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Scott

Jim,

    What a wonderful piece of art you have sent, Thank you. The mechanic, machine shop and all friends are completely impressed. (as well as myself being very impressed)

Hi Jim

Sorry it took so long to respond.

Just wanted you and your team to know the fuel Injection system you put together for us is more beautiful than I ever expected.

I am sure the performance will equal the attention to detail spent on this project.

Thanks

Bob Lima

We completed the install of the 8 stack system and it is running great! We put a basic tune in the Holley Dominator ECU and got it running. We were going to fine tune it on the dyno but so far it is learning and improving with every drive. It gives me the instant start, good idle speed, and plenty of punch from a stop. I will let you know how it improves as it gets more data. We finished the handmade metal coil pack covers and put the WICKCAD logo on them with the matching color of the throttle bodies. Here are a few pictures that you are welcome to use. Please let me know if you would like different shots of the intake. Thanks for the great product and your support.

Bruce Conwell

Hi,
we received the package today and what should i say….. Faboulus!!!! Im now very very very fu**ing happy XD     You have done a great job!!     Thats what good work should look like!
100 Thumbs Up!!!!!!

Just received the 8 stack. The picture does it no justice. It looks amazing thanks. 

Joe Vadala

Love the new look and how stable it is at low speeds. Great job!  Love it!

Jeff Fish

Mr. Jim,
Hope this message finds you and yours well. Still loving my Jim Inglese tuned weber’s…. the system is performing perfectly after 8 years. Yes I sync them every year or so plus fresh plugs and almost always run non-ethanol fuel.

Take care.  Ed  Frost

It isn’t completely tuned in yet, this after cam break in. It’s already running better than it ever did. Thank you for your highest of quality product and support.

Chris Marvelle

For 40yrs I fixed broke business so I know an “A Team” when I see one. They always have smart people who are world class at what they do. They are also led by an excellent leader/mentor. That’s what I saw when I came to your shop. Your team is the “A Team!” 

—Phil Ciarlo

Thank you for the wonderful injection system.

Just wanted to drop you a line thanking you for all the help and to let your future customers know what a great product you have. My engine is a 390FE Ford bored .30 and stroked 4.25,445cu., roller hydraulic with 10-1 compression thru a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads. You always had the time to answer the phone or return calls personally, which is a real oddity in this industry. Installation and startup went without a hitch thanks to your clear and easy to read instruction pamphlet. One of the very pleasant surprises, beside ease of cold start and overall smoothness in running was an improvement in fuel economy over my 3×2 setup. Just to sum up if you want to deal with a manufacture who cares about his client, produces a quality product that lives up to its hype, and follows thru with commitments in a timely manner, Jim Inglese is the man.

Mike Rankin

I want to say thank you for your outstanding customer service.

Chris Marvelle

Thank you!! You continue to impress me. Everything I’ve heard and read about you and your company is 100% accurate.

Andy Wallner

I like the way you do business and take care of the customer.  Would recommend you highly just based off that alone.  Very customer centric. 

Its very hard for an automotive hobbyist to receive the type and level of service you have provided.  I’m building / modifying / restoring three cars for myself right now (on a part time basis) and trust me, not every supplier has had my best interest at heart.

Over this build, you earned those comments  with your up-front communication, honesty and extreme accuracy in pricing and billing and utmost desire to build the best quality injection unit you could (no corners cut anywhere!).  Your ability to take a complicated subject and explain it for a non-expert to comprehend was refreshing.

I haven’t even seen or run the unit and I’m this satisfied.  I know I went to the right person to get the job done.  Can’t wait to see my eBay ‘find’.

Jeff Guisto

Thank you for the nice compliment. I must say, you are the definition of what customer service is all about. Thank you again for working with me on this. You are top notch and I will have nothing but praise for you and your company.

Andy Wallner

Hi Jim, 

     Wow, Wow, and in case I forgot to say Wow…! You nailed it..! It’s a different car, no more popping on acceleration, I used the 65 idle jets, perfect…! I really appreciate your advise, your are a great guy to share your knowledge and help people out just getting into Weber’s. I bet a lot of people give up too soon, but when you get these carbs set, well, all I can say is Wow…! 

Thank you Jim…! 

Sincerely, Jeff Mercer

Hi Jim-

Received webers yesterday.  Beautiful work.  The paperwork is excellent.  Your (many many) years of experience with jetting and tuning will save me many hours of trying to get them “happy” on my 289.  Cheap at any price.  Thank you.

—Bruce Bogart  

Hi Jim,
Thought you might like to know that our Ford 302/347 ran today at our engine builder.  Here’s the result: 

503 HP 
486 lb-ft

I’m blown away.  Wow. How much do you think can be attributed to your intake?  A 347 from Ford Racing makes 415/400. Cheers!   Dale

Hi Jim , I hope life has been treating you well through the last year or so .. In December of 2020 you built and sent a 8 stack for my bbf 427 stroker (511) to Edmonton , Alberta    Canada…Your build worked as good as it looks ..The change is dramatic and a pleasure to drive compared to the  2×4 low riser manifold that was replaced because of no hood clearance   .The car performs so much better and smoother ..I like to say ( thank you) for your great product .. Now I’d  like to inquire about another project of mine ..

Gordon Jones

John thinks it’s making around 540 BHP and the torque curve is flat as a mill pond all in from just over rock over!  You all know I was concerned about throttle response having gone 8 stack and your collective design has no trace of it – it’s like a whip crack. All this whilst sounding great and running cool. 

I’m amazed at the difference in sound relative to the old 428 that was in the car previously. This is much “angrier”. 

I have no problem recommending each of you on this email to each other for specialist services. I’d also be delighted Ito help if you need a reference at any point in the future. Please free to use any pictures and I am always happy if your customers wanted to speak to or email me. I can’t email the video clip but I have uploaded it to my Facebook page. I’ve also put it on YouTube on this link. 

Clive Austin, UK

Hey Jim I received my 8 Stack EFI last week. Just wanted to let you know it looks amazing and to thank you for the fast and professional service you provided. Keep up the great work.

Jerry Cochran

Hi Jim just a quick message to say thanks for everything .webers look amazing it’s all as you described it would be ,the fuel lines and air horns linkage etc are quality I’m another proud Inglese customer.

I’ve recently been to the Goodwood revival which is the biggest  classic car racing event in Europe and there were plenty of Inglese labels on webers on the finest machinery in the paddocks.

Regards Steve  

(Stephen Sawyer, UK)

I just unpacked the 8 stack that will be installed on my Pantera.  It is a gorgeous work of engineering and art.  I kind of want to place it on my coffee table for display.  The rest of the car will now be rebuilt around this masterpiece.

Thank you very much!

                Dan Malek

You have provided what I am sure will be the Crowning Jewels on the engine that graces the engine bay of my Daytona Coupe. The 48 IDA Webers  your team hand crafted function beyond expectation. The 347 sings as it should!

Thank you[,

Sam Paschel

Dear Jim,

My Superformance Cobra arrived yesterday afternoon.  It is spectacular.
The heart and soul of the car is of course the motor.  I’ve never beheld more stunning automotive machinery than your Weber carburetors mated to my Shelby engine.  The exquisite design and precision engineering of your functioning carbs is musical harmony if off the scale to adequately describe.

Thanks so much for your care in fabrication and dedication during shakedown for a car I’ll enjoy for many years.

With best regards,

Bill Brubaker

Jim,

I don’t drive the truck as often as I would like except to shows and my Saturday breakfast with car guys but now that it is running so good I’m sure that it will see more road time. Thanks again for such a quality product that makes me smile every time I open the hood.

Wally Osinga

Well all I have to say is wow beautiful the quality is really good the casting and machining is probably the best I’ve seen ever can’t wait for the Cleveland. 

Frank Micknak 

Just received the 351C system well worth the wait thank you for everything. It’s everything you said and beyond my expectations

Frank Micknak 

Good afternoon,

Package received, I’m impressed to say the least. I saw a Speedmaster injection system on a car the other day, quality not even close to yours. It was well worth the wait, I’ll send pictures when the truck is done. Thanks again,
Mark Kennedy, One very happy customer

Jim, just spent the afternoon working with Andy on tuning my 8 stack. It runs amazing!! So happy you send people like me to him for a great tune! This has been a great experience working with you and your great 8  stack EFI. Thanks again, Shawn Phelps, Zillah Washington.

Hello Jim,  Thank you for all your expertise on this project. It’s always a  pleasure speaking with you, you are a wealth of knowledge!! Here is a few pictures of my GT40 that I just completed mechanically.   Sincerely,  Larry Laino

Hey Jim…Jeff Plotkin here. The guy that was never in a hurry…lol…Finally got your intake installed on the Vette. My tuner wants to hug you compared to the chinesium intake i had previously. He said it works just like it’s supposed to and easy to tune!

Attached a few pics of the car at a show for you to view.  Thanks again Jim for making me such a beautiful intake!  Btw…Took a top 5 trophy at the show with over 100 cars and haven’t even detailed it!

Best Regards, Jeff Plotkin

Thank you so very much Jim, for all the assistance in regards to correct jetting & Choke sizes for this large 572 Keith Black Hemi. You were so “right on“ the VERY FIRST TIME. The engine started the first turn of the starter motor, with no adjustment to the throttle. It idled flawlessly at 1000rpm. Right out of the box, the engine produced 860 foot-pounds of Torque and 795 horsepower at 6,000 RPM.
