What is the best induction system for your Alfa?

The one in it now. If it is carburetors, keep it. If it is SPICA injection, keep it. These two systems are superb in every respect. Dual Webers, SPICA injection are throttle-per-cylinder systems. Production cars with individual throttles (a throttle per cylinder) are very rare, only found on high-performance/exotic vehicles. Most vehicles have only one throttle body. ITBs result in much higher response, higher RPM.

We dyno tune all of our restored engines. Working with Weber carburetors on the dyno allows us to correct flat spots. Having our dyno garage on premise allows us to perform extensive testing and fine tuning. Some engines can take more than a week of such work. No two engines are the same. Additionally, there are replica Weber carburetors from foreign sources that we take the time to match the engine and tune properly.
