Much of it really is preference/necessity. If the car came EFI, might as well keep EFI, if you gotta pass smog, then you must retain EFI. But either one,set up properly will work just as well, though EFI usually tends to have the mileage/drivability edge. I do enjoy not having to chase electrical ghosts trying to find which sensor took a crap though. Especially when it's intermitant. Having EFI sucks without a scanner. I'd prefer EFI for forced induction too

If you build a car for mileage, it probably needs training wheels
