nothing. You will see maybe gain something and maybe loose something. Either way, a well tunned carb can run with EFI. The drop only 1 or maybe 2 MPG down. The problem is that no one ever gets them tunned totally right.

If you are looking HP, look somewhere else. If you are looking to fix/get rid of TBI, then get a carb and don't worry about MPG.

If your engine doesn't need any more fuel then no fuel delivery system, even the best in the wold will not make more HP.

I have a carb in my sig for sale if you are interested!!

Depending on what you have done to your car, you can pic up more performance else were. Exhaust & Gears are always the best place to start for performance. A engine is just a air pump. The more air you can get in and the quicker you can get it out the faster it will run.
