TBI or Carb?

Wassup people! Just a quick question:
Is it even worth keeping the TBI or yanking it out and slap a 4-barrel carb on it? I have a TBI motor, but its a 350. Has decent power. Motor was already like this when I purchased the car. HAs loads of potential. Not sure which way 2 go.

I like TBI better, some people don't. Check out the 305 to 350 swap sticky at the top of the TBI forum.

Re: TBI or Carb?

If you drive it a lot, TBI get's better mileage.
Also you don't really have to worry about tuning anything.
What a lot of people don't like is trying to track down the problems.
But if you have it running right, take care of it, and have it programed right, I would go with TBI.

Just my 2cents
