Quote: I am also wondering why folks would try to replace the highly efficient EFI system on these engines? I am a carb guy too (Gary Williams dominator), but these systems are hard to beat and are usually included with an engine swap. The 6.1 intake is hard to beat for performance/efficiency up to 7000rpm, there are aftermarket throttle bodies available as well as "stock" higher flowing injectors.
Just my thoughts....
This is a great thread and maybe we can get a Modern Mopar forum set up for these types of discussions?
For me, primarily it was the fact that the stock 6.1 set-up has absolutley no sex appeal. And with my motor going into old iron (my 70 Road Runner) things must look as cool as they perform......hense the Drag Pack Intake. Long therm plans are go to F.I with the DP Intake, so I didn't want to get into the $1000 conversion wiring harness & stock computor reprogramming blah blah blah....with the stock stuff. So, the simple soution is a carb on the DP Intake.
For looks in the old iron I fully understand however in terms of cost. All the carbed intakes for the Hemi are big bucks, I would think it would be cheaper to go the FI route YOu still need a computer to run the spark/timing control anyways. PLus the drag pack is around 1000.00 on it own last time i checked, unless you get a hell of a deal on one.
