Then you have the gift that many strive for, and the knowledge to use
it. : )  I enjoy carbs, but EFI is worlds better.  I think carbs are
appropriate when a fresh, untested, non-stock powertrain is being
installed in a vehicle that will be converted to EFI.  Getting the
engine broken in and running well on a carb then switching to EFI
later reduces the headaches involved in tuning the new engine.  Guys
with more computer tuning experience may disagree.  As I get more ECM
tuning experience I may eventually end up skipping the carb step. 
Right now I work with the carb first.
