RE: EFI or Carb
The decision should be based on long-term goals for YOUR vehicle. I have made great power with both.
Both systems have + & -.
Carb is initially cheaper and quicker, can make awesome power if matched to a good engine combination and properly tuned
EFI is usually overall more expensive, takes longer to accomplish but is infinitely more tunable with the proper system and if properly matched to an engine combination can be made to make incredible power especially on boosted engines.

RE: EFI or Carb
well i have efi and it seems like theres always something electrical wrong. ive had carbs and never had the problems before .the local engine guy said i could make that power with what i have and some new heads and a better cam. I just wanted to see what ever had to say before i just start blowing money .
