Never have tried a weber on a 7. Probably never will. Perfectly satisfied with my Sterling carb and I just don't see any room for improvement...

This spring I'll be running my new Weber 48 IDA on my newly rebuilt street port by RPM.

Do a search for Sterling Nikki on here. He mods the stock carb for about the price of a Holley 465 and reportedly gives about the same results, with better flow characteristics for the primaries and secondaries. The people that have them have been very happy with them, and I am just waiting on mine to show up. Also try Mikuni, Weber, Dellorto.
