carb-vs-injection
im sure this has been beatin to death but i cant find it no where in the search, so here goes...say you have a tuned carb-intake set up say a 750 with a victor intake, and you put a injected victor intake and all hardware(tb.mass air) with it on the motor with 36pound injectors which one will make more power if any

Depends on the tune, you can get just as much power out of a carb setup, it just takes a lot more effort to fine tune it. With same tuning, fuel injection might make 5-10 more horse, if you go with some sort of cold air intake

EFI can get power throughout the rpm range, but carb can get more power in a specific rpm range. but the winner for me is that modding an EFI car is fuggin expensive, where a carb is dirt cheap. not to mention there isnt nearly as much electrical sh*t to go wrong and there is less weight

RE: carb-vs-injection
i like to keep FI cars all FI unless it was going to be a pure drag car. carbs kinda take the fun out of the FI but on the other hand if you have a carbed motor its really easy to make some power and cheap.
