Why Carb and non OD a Gen 3?

Makes complete sense for a more race-oriented setup. I'd go the same route if I was building a street/strip car. I know how to tune both carbs and EFI, I have more experience with carbs but taught myself how to tune a bit on my Buick (supercharged 3800 V6) and there are pros and cons to each. What intake manifold are you running?
Eddy intake
