manual trans does better than the auto's with bigger tires. I have an auto. 265's IIRC, are about 31.7in, where my tires are closer to 33.5. when i had worn 32in bfg's I didn't have my weber, but I imagine I would be happier with the power feel vs now. But i do like my tall tires:)
as for the turbo, that would solve my problem and have thought about it. just looking for the right car to end up on craigslist in my area.
[edit] forgot to tell you that my carb was jetted down by one of the guys here on the forum. I would think you would be fine if going with the dFev, but i don't know for sure.
