Carbed are easier just because its easier to tweak a non computer managed system, plus carborators are easy to work with. But really the difference is minimal, just based on preference. There are tons more parts out there for the 87-95 market however.

Stick with what ever you already have. And do your mods based on that.

Thanks for the responses, I dont currently have a stang' but i'm about to get one.I'll probably try to hold out for a 87-93 since there are more parts for them. When I do get one, i'll post back and let everyone know what I got. I'll probably have more ??'s too as im not very Mustang savy (previous Camaro owner [96 Z28]). Thanks for the info. Peace....</P>

definately carbs are easier to mod, plus they are much cheaper
