Wow... with the information you gave us (zero) on the build, it's impossible to answer.
What's your engine combo, what parts (cam/compression/exhaust/trans/...)
How comfortable are you tuning carbs? Which brand/style?
How comfortable are you with programming efi systems? Even the best self-learning systems will require some manual input... Which systems are you considering? What is your fuel delivery system like? EFI requires a whole different support system than carbs...
"90% strip"- any particular class?
Throw us a bone, here...

Simple, if carbs were better they would still use them on modern cars. (Shots fired)

Carb unless you're up for a steep learning curve and a bunch of work. I went efi on my street car and I don't recommend it to many as they're not diligent enough with their fuel system or wiring to make an efi reliable. Then if it doesn't "self tune" 100% they blame Holley. Gotta put in the time. My car will start on the key in zero degree weather without ever touching the gas. It's pretty damn sweet and I doubt I'd run a carb on the street again.
Nice job throwing a turd into the punchbowl LOL

carb
90% track means you only need two working circuits, no V-can, and no timing changes; pretty much easy-peasy for a carb, set it and forget it.
and you can send me the money you just saved.lol.

90% track. Go to the track, look at any classic architecture Mopar V8 (hell, ANY classic style V8) and it'll be a carb 95% of the time. Modern V8s are a different animal. Apples and oranges. EFI on modern cars is for driveability and emissions, no gain power-wise over a properly set up carb at the track.
Shots returned.

Two of the fastest 3 barracudas I know of around here run fuel inj.

Won't dispute that, but that wasn't my point- and I stand by the fact that 95% of "track" cars are running carbs.
