TPI or Carburetor

Which fuel system setup would you recommend? At the moment I have a TPI system. Would one perform better than the other one and give more horsepower?

It depends....

Vague questions get vague answers.

Torque, fun, driveability on a stock engine = stock TPI
Easy use, better up end power = Carb
Best combination = Modified MPFI setup of any form.

I would stay with TPI. I have done all there is to do with a carb. and I changed to TPI and I love it. The only way I would go carb over TPI is for a race car and then I would rather have mechanical injection instead.
