the reason why i argued for a carb mostly hinges on simplicity. why reinvent the wheel when guys like shafiroff, musi and dantoni have been running hard using carbs for years? sure, if you have bucks and access to a dyno you could get an EFI engine in the same ballpark but it's not an easier road. even if you use your own laptop, you have to include the cost of said laptop in the final tabulation.

those guys who claim more reliability with an EFI motor don't like to raise their hoods very often, nor do they enjoy the simplicity of being able to tune your fuel delivery with a screwdriver. nothing that can be done with EFI can't be done with a carb and vice versa. it all depends on the universal question everyone faces when they get involved with racing: how much do you want to spend/how fast do you want to go? you'll be spending plenty no matter which road you choose.
