carb, TPI, or TBI?

ok since the fire, ive been debating whether or not to go back to a carb setup or not. what the pros and cons of a carb setup, TPI setup, and TBI setup. im not after anything fancy, just enough to get air into a 355 that needs at least 600 cfm...

TBI is worthless, unless its a 4 Barrel TBI unit. Look to pay around $1395.

TPI is worthless stock for a 350. You will need the regular TPI parts and a Holley steatlh ram to fix this. If you have a Holley stealth ram, you won't need the Plenum, intake, runners, or fuel rails. The basic HSR setup is about 500 with fuel rains add this to the cost of the rest of the TPI setup.

Carb is great if you don't care about gas mileage, tuning, or winter driving.

Note, I went carb myself.
