cheap and easy = carb

more expensive BUT more streetable = EFI

That is saying with the same radical combo a EFI car would be more streetable.

i know many a carb setup that runs ESTACTIC but it isn't very radical....

---i feel to have the best of both worlds is to run EFI, is it harder and more expensive?

YES

is it more rewarding?

YES

that is my opinion


-----ps it is also a lot easier to punch a few buttons than it is to play with a choke or jetts ANY DAY

yeah, and laptops are cool in the passengers seat when you pull up to the street races. But you better come packing, they don't take that stuff lightly.

I think DFI is the way to go.
