    And you lose all the reliability and tuning of fuel induction. I would never sacrifice that for what little extra power could be made.

    Calling someone else an idiot because they used a carb in a swap on an old vehicle? That's a little strong.

    And fast stuff sometimes. Used to be people that had carbs were scared of FI because they knew nothing about it....NOW it's the opposite.

    The only sacrifice you give up with a carb setup is fuel mileage... Do a little research on it and you will be surprised. Do you actually think all the Vic intakes were designed for FI applications...
