Default Carburated or fuel injected

This is not a which is better post. I want you guys opinion on this. I have a 95 gt with bolt on mods including a 4:10 gear. every since i got the gear i have been having acceleration problems and it seems that no one can give my a good explanation on what the problem would be. I have heard the the 94-95 computers were very conservative and does not respond good to mods, so a bought a superchip and it fixed it for a minute and went back to driving like crap. Now this is where my question comes in should i go carburated or fuel injected for my street legal street rod, i'm leaning towards carburated because of my problems but i prefer fuel injected but it seems like i don't have a choice unless someone can tell me the what my problem might be.
Just in case you need to know
Mods
Original 40 series flowmasters
O/R H-PIPE
70mm Throttle body
Aluminum Underdrive Pullies
CAI (Fenderwell)
SuperChip
Also things i thought might have been the problem that i changed
O2 sensors
Fuel pump and filter and fuel line filter
plugs and wires
distributor cap and rotor
Thanks

Default RE: Carburated or fuel injected

As far as street legality, that would depend on the area you live. If you can convert to carb and it isn't against the smog rules in your area, then it is a cheaper alternative...though there is a great deal that goes into tuning a carb properly and you have to understand what's going on if you don't want to spend forever doing trial and error tuning. As far as what's causing it, I couldn't tell you, there's a chance that it might not even be engine managment related, and switching to carb might fix nothing. Is it a general maintence issue? Change fuel filter, dirty injectors, dirty MAF etc etc
