Edelbrock’s New Carb Is The Most High-Tech

ummmm... where did i say that? like i ststed there are a ton of hacks out there. just follow various forms and facebook groups.. the people that have issues are the ones ya hear from the most. doesn't matter what they are working on. front end, carb, eft, water bpump, brakes...etc..etc...etc there is so much user error out ther its unreal.. peopel that shouldn't even be turning a wrench on their car to begin with...

what i do know though is that a carb is never perfectly tuned day in and day out.. so many things go into the perfect tune which you know.. now EFI will adjust to all that many times a second and be in tune and in tune again tomorrow no matter what the conditions are.

What you said was the majority of issues with EFI is the end user. It’s the same with a carb. One big drawback to the carb is ALL pump fuel is now blended for EFI so it’s one more thing that needs to be accounted for in carb tuning. If you don’t know that, or ignore it you’ll never get the tune up right. EFI isn’t the world beater you’d like us to believe. The reason why Edelbrock even released this carb was to fill the market of guys moving back to carbs. And in so doing, they made the carb with a 3rd circuit that no one needs unless you are running two 850’s on 265 inches. Plus they added a 4th just to keep the marketing department happy. The argument will continue because the EFI guys think anyone over the age of 30 is too stupid to understand and tune EFI. That’s not it at all.
