Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question

Carbs make more power everywhere. If you can’t get the drivability out of them, that’s on the tuner.

Again, we’re it not for CAFE we wouldn’t even have roller lifters. You can argue all you want but that is the FACT. The US government, which doesn’t know jack **** about oil, cars or anything else, using the EPA decided that phosphorus and zinc needed to be significant reduced and THAT is why you have roller lifters. And BTW and FWIW, they had to change the oil because the same morons decided that catalytic converters would save the world.

I can go on about stupid technology but you think I’m old and stupid so I’m done with it.

Unless you are using some power adder a carb is BY FAR simpler, and easier to use. I you want EFI then do it. Just don’t tell me how smart you are and how stupid I am because I don’t bu that line of ****.

I never said anything about being smarter because I prefer EFI, but the FACT is that a carb cannot adjust itself; its a "set it and forget it" device, that is a FACT. Yes you can tune them, but to do so means disassembling them (several times) to change jets, power valves, etc. until you get it right, that is also a FACT. So if you want to drive your car somewhere that has a significant change in altitude, oh wait you will lose power because the carb cannot adjust itself... and that is a FACT.

Look, you can hate on technology all you like, you are also free to run whatever you like on your car, but to essentially say that technology is bad and anyone who takes advantage of it is falling for some type of BS is just wrong. If you want to run a carb and points, knock yourself out, doesn't mean everyone else has to. Same thing the other way, if "everyone" is running newer technology, you are free not to do so; but do not try and convince people that newer technology is bad because it isn't, and that sir is a FACT.
