Webers are brand new and seem to fall out of tune(especially part throttle) very quickly. I know nothing about carbs so this is very frustrating. I feel much more comfortable with electronic control and tuning. I am looking to talk to the guys who have an aftermarket system on a flat four and have had good luck with it. Can this be done for $2500? Also in the mean time where do I look to learn a bit about these damn Webers and some rookie tuning instructions.

Signed, Carb ignorant.

There are two Weber books, the Weber Tech Manual and the Haynes manual for Webers. I think the Tech Manual is written by Pat Braden. They are well thought of by those I have talked to who have fussed with the Webers.

Megasquirt is an option, but if your Big Four is much bigger than 2 liters you will probably have to fabricate an intake manifold yourself or find something adapable.

Heh, or you can just use your Webers as throttle bodies and set up the MS (or other FI system) as an "Alpha-N" system, which reads throttle position (alpha) and RPM (N) and uses those inputs instead of air flow or manifold pressure... Sort of like an electronic MFI.
