I had a Toyota truck enthusiast look at it and he said it runs better than his 20r, so he's no help. I'm starting to suspect this is just the way this engine runs.
You can give Toyota kudos for reliability, but the Mitsubishi trucks made more power. Back when they raced these things in their own class, anyone who used a D-50 had their trucks nerfed with an extra 150 lbs of ballast to make the overall class more competitive...
Bear in mind that the Weber has a bigger CFM than the Mikuni - it will sacrifice some low down torque for more midrange to top end power. You can reclaim some of that torque by lengthening the intake ducting. Other option is using headers.
