Carbed or injected?
 
Allright guys I am contemplating the ever ongoing battle of carbed or injected. I currently have a 91gt with a 351 /F cam/Roush heads/GT40 intake. 30# injectors and mass air. There are not any shops in the area which I am confident can properly tune the car and I dont really want to spend $1500 on a FAST system. What is intaled in the fuel injection to carb switch? Can I still run the in tank pump and what regulator do I need to use if so. Maybe I should just save my money and get the FAST system. Any suggestions? any info would be appreciated.

take a road trip and find a place it is worth keeping the fuel injection you will make more power out of it

+1 I would rather not rely on a giant fuel leak for my induction

I run carbs and I like them but the only real reason I have them is because the cars came with them on lol. I mean with the right person you can tune a carb to get the same gas mileage and such as injection and theres nothing like the feeling of the back to barrels opening up on a carb which a injection setup you cannot really do. BUT Id much rather have injection just for the fact that you can just start the car right up and take off unlike a carb car which you have to let warm up.. If you can Id stay with injection but if you want to go easy way out you can go carb!

well if its ur dd, then i would stay efi, but if u want easy tuneability than go carb. plus remember this a finely tuned carb will make more power than a fi setup. plus its usually cheaper.

Dammit man where's your sense of adventure....lol. Just get yourself a TwEEcer or PMS systemand tune it using the stock ECM. Theirs no reason to go with a wholestand aloneaftermarket system when the the stockFord one works just fine.It's reallynot that hard once ya get started.;)

And what exactly are you basing this info from? Mostpeople just basetheir info on whatthey have heard from people who are just telling you their opinions. If fact a CARB can be tuned to make as much or in most cases MORE power and just as good duel economy. While noone was looking technology was working on CARBs to. Just gotte get the right intake matched to the CARB and cam and heads. Same as EFI.

Thanks for the info...I would like to try tuning the car but dont know where to start. How much is a TwEEker system and where can I get a hold of one. Does it come with hardware and software compatible for the EECIV system? I know I am kind of computer illiterate in this area so there will be some adventure involved.:eek:
