CB

 

Why would you think there's any difference between a carb versus FI exhaust system?

ok well what the best exhaust then? for a 88 n/a??
RB header-RB silencer-ypipe-dual high flow mufflers?????

CB

also Ted with the mods in my sig think it is worth going carb??...how much gas mileage will i lose and drivability with a Dellorto 48-50 carb and the RB carb manifold??
will i gain alot of power over my current setup?
and how loud will my 7 be if i go with a header....silerncer....and high flow mufflers?? will i get harrased to death by cops??

Going carb gots its pros and cons:
PROs:
-Adjustability fine tuning your carbs for any situation, climate, mods on your engine = more power.
-Makes engine easier to fix, troubleshoot and modify.
-More Power at high rpms.
CONs:
-Driveability suffers; no low rpm torque.
-Uses about 15%-30% more gas.
-Very $$$, Dellortos are less expensive than Webers but still cost alot plus the manifold, fuel pump, linkage ect.
If you are worring about noise, going carb is not for you. Using a pre-silenser and high flow mufflers will not take advantage of a Dellorto setup plus using the car for a daily driver will frustrate you during stop and go traffic. Just upgrade the fuel injection system and the RB exhaust will make a mellow deep sound, better than a honda with heathers and a flowmaster.

 

No, NO NO NO! Carbs have NO advantages over fuel injection...Other than the fact that replacement parts may be cheaper...

 

I'm with you once again Aaron.

Can we start another Carb vs. FI war on this thread too?

 

If you have a racing engine the carb is the way to go. Ive seen a 13b na but out 390hp but you needed a petrol station attached to it cause it drank like a sailor.

Ah, no. A 13B PP maxes out at about 325hp.

 

Wrong, wrong and wrong:
- Programmable EFI leaves a carb for dead when tuning
- EFI is no more difficult to work on if you know what you're doing.
- Power is about airflow, not how the fuel goes in. A properly tuned EFI system will make the same or slightly more peak power than acarb, but with significant mid-range gains.
