Why do you want a carb? You have an S-AFC, so you have the ability to tune your EFI to any mods, the stock injectors are good for over 250fwhp, where's the problem?

Those things are so simple to install. If is is installed correctly and doesn't work, it might be faulty. A carb is a pretty extreme solution to that problem.

trust us you will be kicking your self in the ***** when you can't get the carb to work or tune right. fuel injection is so much easyer than carbs and will make more hp. just port out the intake alittle.

Aftermarket EFI is great, especially if you are turbo'd. For NA's, carbs provide good performance for the dollar. The stock intake tract is so much more restrictive than the Racing Beat manifold/carb setup. You don't need help from a shop to install it.

I had injector, pulsation damper and butterfly/shaft wear problems years ago. I yanked the EFI, put on the RB Dellorto. 100% reliable, way more power. Just wish I had done it sooner.

RB developed the Holley system due to the fact that the Dellorto 48 is no longer in production.

Don't tell the all the guys in Puerto Rico that carbs suck!
