It has nothing to do with fear.
OEM EFI is about emissions and junk like that. It damn sure isn’t about maximum power.
If a carb can’t be made drivable that’s on the tuner.
If you are willing to spend the timing learning EFI, why not spend the time to learn carburation?
If your goal is to be able to turn the key and have it idle than EFI is what you want. Any half assed tuned carb will start and run with a turn of the key, and it takes about 1 minute for the car to sit and idle on its own. If that.
