Smallblock efficiency or How to have your cake and eat it too

Vice approximately $200 bucks for a carb versus $700++ for FiTech, $2K + Holley or FAST... PLUS, if you’re converting to EFI - cutting/drilling bung holes for sensors (lifting the car, maybe more for big blocks) it is simply a money and convenience matter.

My friend, a certified electrician, took two weeks to sort his EFI out with more time off (shore duty) than most anyone here has. He worked on it around the clock.

It tamed his camshaft, solved some problems-but many of the older guys here can get in and turn their key and drive at will. When I drove regularly, I could get in and go-every time.

Separate subject for another thread.

Not to start a fight,,,I haven't seen a Good $200 carb in decades,, certified electrician is not the same as a certified auto technician,, I'm not a wizard but it took 5 hours to sort out a previous owner wiring on a chevy with a Sniper EFI. Big Block$$ Small Block$$ dont get that,,, lifting the car????? The only Bung Hole needed is for the O2 in the exhaust, lots of Carb guys are putting them in for AFR gauges anyway,,I'm on board with EFI...More $$ but worth it..Plus it can control the timing +++++. thought this thread was about efficiency not how to stay Old Skool.
