TPIvsCARB is it worth it

well i posted probably a week ago on the subect of my motor going and how i should go about on replacing my 350 . well after reading and reading and as it seems if i really want any substanial power gains carb is the way to go and dump the tpi setup . And i was thinkin of going with a crate engine . how diffcult would this be to have put in going from fuel injected to carb ? And would it be well worth it .

i went from tpi to carb and love it. there are times when i would like to have some sort of FI, mostly when its cold but for the most part im very happy with my carbs. the swap itself was very easy, the most difficult part was picking the parts. if your using a 700, the tv cable might cause some issues and regulating the fuel pressure required some research.

you can make good gains from either set up but the FI will keep you within legal standards for pollution testing. you will get alot of back and forth answers on this subject

good luck with the swap
