MrKwik said:You have obviously never seen an EFI guy try to tune a carb. Its like a monkey with an algebra problem
MrKwik said:I think the main advantages of carb are that you can make more power for less money. Not saying that a carb is more powerfull than EFI just that for a given power level it costs alot less for a nice carb setup than for an EFI setup. The other things I like are it really cleans up the engine compartment and keeps things simple. You will probably loose some MPG but I dont totally agree with poeple that say you have poor drivability. Carbs do tend to be cold blooded and I never run a choke but have never had an issue driving a carbed car in the winter. Just takes a couple minutes to warm up. Low end response I think is a little better with EFI from my experience. I love carbs but I am kind of old school. But I will say that if a car was already EFI, I probably wouldnt convert it just because it has an issue. They are actually pretty easy to troubleshoot once you understand the basic components.
