Certainly it was not an easy engine to run, but the low end torque and linear throttle were fabulous. I think most missed the benefit of the Webra because they simply looked at peak RPM on the ground, which was often in favor of the YS. However, I think what was most missed was the whole package - power available on 15% nitro, easily under the noise limit at peak power, and the actual takeoff weight which could easily be 12 oz less due to the lighweight of the Webra and great fuel mileage (8 oz was enough for Masters). I do think the 170CDI shifts the balance tho, since it will make the power at lower RPM, and fuel mileage becomes similar (of course this is what, 5 years after the Webra??).
