RE: Fuel Injection or Carbs???
I say go for carbs. It costs WAY less for a GOOD intake and carb setup than it does for a comprable EFI setup. Like im talkin thousands less.
Carbs pro's- Cheap, reliable, easy to work with, clean up engine bay nicely, lots of inexpensive intakes cheaper roots style superchargers..
Cons- Tuning can be a bitch (depending on carb brand), gas milage suffers a wee bit.
EFI Pro's- Gas milage, easier tuning (but MUCH more expensive), runs better when cold, better for turbo's, reliable.
CONS: PRICE, for your model - tuning is a bitch youd probably need an aftermarket engine management system, messy engine compartment. Intakes alone cost MUCH more than an intake and carb together (for comprable performance).
