Here is what Pro Stock champion Greg Anderson has to say. The whole interview is very good but the carb/EFI part starts at about 12:10. Very interesting.
The 10,500 rpm limit change and where they pick up air from is killing them. I wholeheartedly agree with his statement that if they could pic up air from the top of the hood and run two big throttle bodies AND wind the engines up where they want to that they’d be well ahead of the carburetors in the hp dept.
Bear in mind that this question was directed to a very specific niche: NHRA Pro Stock racing.
My opinion. NHRA is a bunch of shitheads. "Competition?" REALLY? I don't remember the details but the EFI used in pro stock is INCREDIBLY restricted, limited, regulated. Unless this has changed, racers MUST USE ONLY a Holley certain part number engine controller. They MUST use ONLY a certain throttle body. I don't remember what all else
HOW IS THAT COMPETITION?
That would be like if NXRX came along and said, "OK racers, next season EVERY body has to run a 2XXX Chevrolet LS engine, with *** factory stock EFI or some damn thing.
Also bear in mind that I am not particularly for or against carb/ EFI. My Dart, last it ran had Holley TBI EFI on it. When/ if I live long enough to get it fired up again, it "may" run for a short time with a carb, simply because "that might be" the easiest way to get it rolling. But in just a few days/ weeks, the EFI would go "right back on."
............Says the guy who can easily build some of the fastest N/A engines on this board, LOL...........Injection is nice but I'd rather be blown.
I’ll take blown AND injected.Injection is nice but I'd rather be blown.
After thinking about it Blown is better. Injection may damage the rear end even with using 85-90.I’ll take blown AND injected.
