the hole debate between efi vs carb will go on forever. hot rod just did this test and found that with a properly tuned carb it will compete with efi on power. they just didn't feel like tuning that carb. but for drivablity efi is king. now power wise they both can do the same thing. now the price is where it kills everyone. i can speed less then 500 for a card and in take compaired to 2000 for a efi setup. so i can tune the efi with a laptop but i can get my lazy a** out of the car and tune my holley carb every now and then with a screw driver. laptop atlest 1000. flat blade screw driver 5 dollars. i'll take a carb.
