Default CARB OR EFI

I have a 306 with victor jr. intake, tfs heads,f 303 cam, 10 to 1 compression, 750 holley. I have bought a 1980 mustang that had been converted to speed density. I also have everything to convert it to mass air including a GT-40 intake from an Explorer. I live in Phoenix where we have emission testing , I want to use it as a daily driver with A.C. and also a little track time drag racing.My question is what would be better EFI or the carb set up.

do carb, it origionally was carb and it sounds better imo, but efi would be better for emmissions. your call especially if you have a mechanic friend that would pass it.

That was what I was thinking. I have had M/A cars, as well as Carb. Both options were for a variety of reasons. 17 years ago when I got my first fox body, there were not the options we have now for the 5.0. In fact a lot of us would look at each other like "WTF....why did we get into these things?" Now it is a mushroom cloud. The world of Mustangs is really your oyster now. I say flip a coin.
