carb vs. EFI
please reply and explain why you voted for your choice. </P>
and this is for your performance ride (not your beater or truck). it just wouldnt fit in the question blank. this is not for a multi-million dollar race team, this is for a build-up you would do or have done. </P>
my vote is carb. it is MUCH cheaper and easier to tune. i also like working 1-on-1 with my car, not having to do it through an electrical thingy. also it always seems that when you have a problem with your car it is from something electrical, either it being a bad a/f ratio or a bad ground or whatever. and IMO a carb engine is cooler because it sounds better and it is more "raw" and i want my stang to be raw, not refined. </P>
all suggestions encouraged, no reason to not post your opinion. <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

EFI is the way to go. if you dont think so that is your ignorant judgement. but that facts are there on the table
cheaper isnt always better. and the stock EFI setup is good for some decent power. if carbs are the ticket how come the all your performance cars are EFI. your not going to get a carb on a ferrari are you??? no your not. and a carb costs how much a demon is around 450 you can get a TB for less money. how about hte intakes a matching intake costs how much?? 250 that is 700 bucks for what.
a TB and intake will set you back what 600. so which is cheaper??? now injectors you dont always need to change injectors. its easier to injectors then it is to buy a different carb. or how about jetting it. a EFI is controlled by computer. a carb setup is controlled by humans that think they know how to tune a carb. to many cars are blown up with carbs running to lean. yes you need to pay someone to burn a chip but this optomizes everything.
this arguement can go on forever in the end EFI will be on everyride and carbs are left out. for the old schoolers.

putting a carb on a stang doesnt make it a muscle car.
