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.

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.

- 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.
