I hate carbs, but tuning a Quickfuel with a wideband has been quite tolerable, and wouldn’t want to run without a wideband again. I had plans of switching it to something like a Holley Sniper but I haven’t heard any case examples of it either way.

That Holley setup looks nice. But at 1500 times 2... I'm sure the needed adjustments I'm looking at now would be cheaper. But, It is something to consider if or when I would need to replace the carbs...

couple of things...EFI and cheap do not go well together, find a place to a get a 02 to live is another major feat(trust me on this one) and last they make it sound plug and play simple, sometimes it does turn out that way..sometimes far from it...

FI is advancing pretty quickly these days. Add an O2 sensor with a wideband to sort out the carbs, and then if the sensor survives it’ll possibly be an easier upgrade to FI.

The more someone depends on the ECU to make the correct decisions when tuning, the more their chances of fking themselves up the azz at some point.
