I have removed the Weber 40IDC 3A carbs for a rebuild.
They currently have 32mm venturies. Will larger venturies give more top end power? The engine is 2.7 from a '77 911. Internals (P/Cs, compression ratio, Cams) are unknown. Bursch Headers with megaphones (with removable baffles). The car is 90% track. Weighs less than 2100lbs. Thanks Eddie |

Since the SCCA has stuck me with 34mm Venturis, I have done alot of testing with other venturis, 32-37.5
For the 2.7 S I would recommend a 34 it is a compromise on all fronts, but will retain the Power under the curve or PUC. with the sacrifice of only a couple HP up top. The data I have from testing indicates a 36 mm venturis over a 34 mm venturi is an increase of only 4 hp above 5500 rpm to a max of 7200 rpm. 34 mm is a very good choice. but your car is light so you can try 36mm, lap times will be the final indicator of proper sizing.
