EFI musings

[Todd Knighton]

Simply put:  "Carbs DON'T"

> 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.

you forgot heat soak and vapor lock.
you forgot wet manifold problems and icing of the manifolds
etc.
etc.
etc.

P.S.  If they could make the same power as EFI and worked more reliably,
all the F1 and GTP cars would run them.
