Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question
I'm not an expert in these areas, that's why I asked for assistance. I'm not an expert with fuel injection, that's why I asked for knowledge from this forum. I've helped members in the past unconditionally, with my own parts I've collected over the years. It seems that several "experts" have tried to take control of this site with their "expert" opinions. All I wanted was some helpful tips or suggestions for my old man build of my old classic muscle car build. I'm ashamed to belong to belong to a site that meant so much to me when I joined a long time ago. It's turned into a big pissing contest about who has the biggest opinion or who has the most posts. This isn't the site I joined long before I joined way earlier than most of y'all joined. I'm torn between leaving, or hoping people can work together. Paul.
You have the answer, you just don’t like it.
You have to decide what YOU want. And whatever that is, you have to chose which system fits that the best.
After that, it will all depend on how much effort you put into them. Neither option is bolt on a go. Any one who says that is a liar.
The success of either a carb or EFI depends on your primary selection and then how much effort you put into it. Nothing else.
For example, if you buy some off the shelf carb and slap it on there, you can expect piss poor performance, and the only way to get it back is to work on it. Or, you can call an actual carb guy like Thumpr Carbs or Mark Whitner who owns Lightning Carbs and let them PICK a carb for you and it will come with their tune up on it.
Or, you can buy an EFI system. If you buy a low end system, expect that it will work at a minimum to get you by. Or, you can buy something where you can tune everything (if I was doing EFI I would never start with a low end system...BTDT and they aren’t worth it unless it’s bone stock) and then spend you time learning the system and how to tune with it.
Those are your options. The argument is with the fools who think “technology” is whatever they define it as.
