Default Need advice

I have a 347 stroker all built correctly with all the best parts. Now my qestion is should I go carb or fuel injection? This will be going in a 88GT 5spd. If you recomend one or the other can you tell me why and what parts I'm going to need? It's gonna be a daily driver and some showing off of course. I want it to be trust worthy for road trips once in awhile. Thanks for your help and advice in advance.

Well it is an 88 car so it is speed density, and more than likely you would want to convert that to mass air if you went the fuel injection route. So If i were you i would just go for the carb. You can make tons of power for consederably cheaper, and it is ALOT easier to tune
