tpi or carb
Trying to get some horespower for a decent price if i stay tpi i would need a new intake, burn a chip, which seems hard, buy injectors, and would be expensive. where i could go carb, rev higher making more horsepower, alot cheaper and could tune it myself easily.whats your guys opinion

You won't get agreement on any forum
Carb; easy Hp , low cost , good for WOT perf
EFI ; better cold start , better fuel economy , better driveability under any conditions

Re: tpi or carb
For a daily driver, EFI is going to be a better choice..... Just depends on what you want, and how much you are willing to spend. Burning PROMS seems to be an addictive passtime, and once you get started, most folks find it is easier than they had thought... Plus, there is plenty of support to be had here.
