Default Carb vs EFI

Im going to saveup for a set of AFR 165s, and after i do that i was going to get a new intake manifold, but the more i read the more i hear about carbed engines. Which is better, EFI or carb, and why? and lastly, would it be worth converting to carb? I just wanna learn some things about carbs. thanks guys.

all i know is that sometimes i wish i had EFI lol. I don't know why you'd want to switch besides maybe easier tuning? I've never tuned a car with EFI so i don't know the difference.

A guy named Tim from the SBF forum has a great motto.

"If the car is EFI, leave it EFI. If the car is card, leave it carb!"

I fully agree. EFI can be easy to tune also if you get a tweecer!

both are good and efi is a lil more efficiant...but a carb set up its a lot cheaper....vs efi//// easier to work on as far as yearin down and back up..../// i think efi is a lil more classy and carb is a lil more muscular ...IMO
