Edelbrock’s New Carb Is The Most High-Tech

I read years ago in a magazine, maybe Car Craft, where they dyno tuned a carbureted BBC until they got the best numbers they could... I think it was like mid to upper 700hp range. Then they bolted on an EFI and on the first run it made within 3hp of their best carbureted effort. And I think it was better through all the other rpm readings with a smoother idle.
But where is the fun and satisfaction in that? Technology has its place but it gets to a point, like in pro stock drag racing, where it's so high tech and expensive, I no longer think it's fun.
I think it just depends on what you want.
