In short, I need max power, easy adjustability, drivability, and
to be affordable.
Carbs don't flow as well as throttle bodies
Carbs (for my application) are worth $1500 as opposed to the $300 for
my EFI+Ignition
Carbs either don't flow enough at full flow, or are hopeless at idle.
Carbs aren't adjustable while driving.
Carbs don't provide a ignition, my EFI box does (thereby saving me
US$600 for a HPV-1 or similar).
Carbs don't provide a data logging system, my EFI box does.
Carbs suffer in High-G cornering or acceleration.
