So I have been researching threads on stacks and also reached out to Wayne to get a quote. I know there is also Jim Inglese who I think is down in CT. Any helpful advice?
http://www.jegs.com/i/Speedmaster/746/PCE107.1018/10002/-1 Are the ones I have.I put screens under the velocity stacks. Not too worried about filtration since we only drive these cars in a relatively clean environment. Jegs now sells a dome screen that will fit.

And only 3 times the price.If you want the look of weber's, get the 8 stack setup, it's what I'm working on.
I will add that you need to have some sort of filtration for these carbs. That gold colored screen between the trumpets is directly over the emulsion tubes air bleeds. If you get dirt in them, the carb will flatten out and will not perform correctly. I have "re-tuned" a number of Webers simply by cleaning these out with suction or removing the bleeds and blowing them clean.112 degrees sounds pretty good but maybe still a little too close.
Rollers are expensive only until you replace a couple of flat tappet cams, oil pumps, etc when they burn up on you.. Make sure you use a couple bottles of Zinc additive in your oil and low pressure valve springs for break-in.
Here's the Info / specs on the two cams - Notice the lobe Sep at 115 degrees;
DESCRIPTION:
Ford Sml Blk 289/302 FO - Inglese Cam Hydraulic Roller Series by COMP Cams®
Inglese™ Weber carburetors offer outstanding performance and throttle response, as well as an incredible underhood appearance. But until now no manufacturer had created camshafts designed specifically to optimize this classic high performance induction system. The new Inglese™ Weber Performance Camshafts by COMP Cams® are designed to enhance the power and drivability of these systems; Inglese™ having worked closely with the COMP Cams® engineering staff to create the most advanced camshaft designs possible. As a result, Inglese™ announces the creation of 16 hydraulic roller cams for Ford, Chevrolet and Chrysler engines.
The secret behind these camshafts is the strong vacuum and signal they create; key ingredients to delivering peak uncompromised Weber performance. While most camshafts are designed for plenum-type 4-barrel carbs or electronic fuel injection, the Inglese™ Weber Performance Camshafts by COMP Cams® were designed from a “clean sheet of paper” for the best performance and drivability possible. The new Inglese™ Weber Performance Camshafts by COMP Cams® are offered in two performance levels for each engine platform, including four popular Ford engines, Small and Big Block Chevrolet, as well as Small Block Chrysler engines.

When we Dynoed my engine it was the first one they had ever done with Webers that didn't have a lot of fuel reversion (there was none), spitting, popping..
I think the numbers that my engine made show that the combination works well.
My purpose for the car/engine is to have a well mannered and docile street vehicle that I actually enjoy driving. I have access to racecars for that other side of me that want's something totally boisterous and obnoxious to drive..
I don't really know much about these. Aren't they from about 1940 and made for flatheads (~100hp)? I know they make a SBF intake, but how much HP will they support? Maybe 6 of them can support 6x as much! Just my opinion, but they would look good on a hot rod, but the wrong vintage for a Cobra. If they float your boat, go for it. I think you will be blazing your own trail with these. I would call the Edelbrock tech line and talk to them about the cam, your CID, etc. Then I would call back and ask a different technician the same questions and see if their answers line up. Of course talk to Mike and see what he says.This is only my second post in 6 years, but I'll be picking my kit up at the end of March. I had intended on using edelbrocks new vintage series intake that support 2x3 edelbrock 94 carbs. Given the comments in the preceding threads, am I to expect issues in not having a modified cam? Mike F. will be doing the build for me, and I would like to know all the potential issues before I pull the trigger and have him start the build…. thanks….
If you are going in deep enough for Webers, don't let a $350 cam hold you back. Put in what a Weber expert tells you to.Thanks Thumper. I really like Webers as do a lot of us but am worried about my cam. Forte built my engine and originally was going to install an E303 but when Jesse called me about my dyno results he told me he installed a "better" cam because they were out of stock of the other and of course I didn't ask at the time what he installed. Have spoke to Mike a couple times and he does not know so I have no idea of type or lobe separation angle and that I think kills Webers for me. Now looking at the 8stack solution.
