I agree with AlexP....only a fool would argue that a carb set up is more efficient.

Cost is line ball....didnt use to be but there are more efi options around now......
To get a carb set up on a Gen 3 working properly, you're either compensating for ineffecient intake manifolds or running a race set up out ofthe hood........and sometimes BOTH.

Most guys who run carbs are either doing it for the looks....or simply prefer old school tuning processes.
