Annular vs downleg boosters on carb

After you've thought about that you can think about this statement:

"Its been my experience that the droplet formation of the Holley style carby imparts a limit to the mechanical configuration of the engine. People often talk about engines as being air pumps but if you only consider them from that point of view you miss the interaction of the fuel and thats the real reason for an engine isnt it. its actually there to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy and to do that you have to follow the chemistry not just the air pump."

That should confuse a few people......
