While I don't seem to know chit , isn't it a nobrainer, that the efi will shut you down before a catastrophe, when carbs will just let you haul azz till you explode !?
I know everyone has their own preference..... but is the upside that big? I don't know so that's why I'm asking.

I guess you can burn it up either way ...but if you're tuned properly, whats the best bet?
still trying to figure this out.

I'm my own repairer, and after tearing down a qjet 30 ish years ago I realized carbs not my forte. So I hope the holly efi is not too much for me when I'm ready to upgrade, although at the rate its going my grandson will be the beneficiary. Lol
