FAST EZ-EFi system
#11
There's no reason a carb can't get the same mileage, power and throttle response as EFI, unless it's not set up correctly.
That said, I've been looking at the EZ-EFI setup, possibly the port injection version for easier tuning and better adaptability when changing engine combinations.

I used the Edelbrock Pro-Flo 2 on my 408 powered 39, I haven't had it on the road yet, but around the lot it runs great and at idle it is super smooth. Plenty of power, and idles smooth.
The "on the fly" tunability from a/f to timing is something I have to admit to liking.
Carbs are great, but I built the 39 for drivabilty, a well functioning efi is hard to top in this regard.

And the industry got away from carbs because of emissions requirements, not drivability and mileage. Carbs just don't have the finite control required to regulate exhaust gas composition and temperature to get catalytic converters to work effectively.
That said, getting a good carb set up properly can be expensive, time consuming and sometimes a complete pia. That's the main reason I've been seriously considering the EZ-EFI system. It eliminates the need to have to physically tune the car.

I have a 351W stroked out to 408 with the Edelbrock RPM top end package. (intake, heads, cam) Lumpy idle note.....I would really like it smoother. Maybe this (EZ EFI) setup would be the ticket for me.

Are you (Iskwezm) running the EZ EFI as well? If not, which EFI setup are you running?

That's completely false. Carbs don't "get out of tune" like I hear people mention sometimes. They're set mechanically, so once they're tuned, they're tuned. The AFR may vary as elevation and weather change, but most engines are pretty indifferent to changes in AFR of +/-5%, so it won't be enough to effect drivability or power to matter(unless it's a competitive race car).
