Faster what? Accelerating in a 1/4? On a circle track? Faster to run out of fuel? Carbs generally make more power up top, they're conducive to producing a better burning mixture. EFI tends to make better power on the low end, since it's not hobbled in metering by low induction velocity like a carb is. Either one can be made fast, and it tends to come down to the person setting it up.

That all depends on what you are looking to do. Carb is easier to make power with if you know what you are doing. If not then just put some bolt ons on an EFI.
