you know you can drive carb in the rain and not so nice days. i was driving in the pooring rain like an hour ago doesnt change the way the car runs as long as you have it tuned right. oh mine is also a daily driver
that must suck having that scoop on your car, because then your engine bay gets all wet. or is the scoop non functional?
nope its functional, its really not bad but my valve covers and air cleaner get dirty alot so im cleaning them every other day haha. the greatest is driving at night and watching the moths get closer and then disapear into the hood scoop
Can I PLEASE run to your house with some orange spray paint and put a 01 on the side of your car bo? haha I agree with the carb, its just easier and cheaper for just sunday crusing, No matter how you cut it, their is no greater feeling then when you feel all 4 bbl opening on the carb.
haha sorry alex im confused and you are completely right feeling the secondaries open up is an amazing feeling. thats why i cant keep my foot off the floor haha

more power for less money. you can make serious power out of a dirrect port fuel injection system but your gunna fork out more than your car would ever be worth for that system

ya but the debate wasn't about cost effictiveness. Someone said a carb makes more power when tuned properly. It doesn't. Plus all of this is puttin more money in a car that bluebooks under 5k(if ur talkin fox bodies)

still i would rather run carb there is a hell of a lot less to go wrong. all the efi stuff can go wrong could be electrical could be what ever. that and i think it looks 10x cleaner under the hood
