I am currently a carb guy. I do believe Fi is the way to go but for the budget build I did for this truck it was WAY cheaper. I think that is a carbs greatest benifeit much better on the pocket book. You need to define the argument better. Yes a dominator can feed more fuel on the big end than most FI setups but a dominator sucks on the street. It is not exactly friendly to tune either it is made for wide *** open and stop. I will see if I can find you some data that backs up your argument. I would start by asking them why john force dosent have a holley any more???

EFI mountain motors will produce about 20 hp less but they will go down the track faster than their carbed counterparts. Pat Musi, The Jegs boys, and a few others are dominating with their efi setups.

I would have to say fuel injection is better,my 78 is carbed and if i had the money id make it fuel injected. Its much more precise, responsive, reliable,and uses less gass the list goes on and on!
