Going Carbed

theres more to it than that.

Ive had both.

On a proper carb setup (i used holleys back in the day), you have to properly match the power valve to your motor. Put in the correct jets, adjust your idle mixtures, adjust the timing for your secondaries via cam or vaccum diaphram springs. If you had a metering plat for the secondaries, you'd swap them out for a metering block, etc. How the carb is mounted to the intake also played a factor. If you wanted to change anything you were leaning over the engine. Plus you go back to a old style type of ignition that you had to sync to the car.

With a good efi system you should make more power and you can adjust everything on the fly with a laptop from your drivers seat. Datalogging, different tune files etc. You'll pay a bit more for the system but its better in the long run

My pony is carbd and I love it! i wouldn't suggest it if its your daily driver, but you can make just as much power with carbd as EFI. It all comes down to what your going to use your car for and what your goal is for it. I suggest figuring that out before you make a decision. In my experience it has been cheaper for me to make more power with carbd than with EFI. Now im not knockin EFI because it also has great benefits. Just my preference.
