its only a matter of time before this turns into another carb vs FI argument. Ive driven both. FI has better gas milage carbs look good and are cheap. I dont really like holley I prefer 2 barrell carbs like Weber, Mikuni or Dellorto. But if you go carb get ready for the haters

I am considering the Holley carb system also and previously had ideas of a new fuel system... I would actually like to know the pros and cons of Carb and FI.

Search the archives Carb vs FI has been covered a million times. Your not going to get a straight answer. First you have to set a goal for your car, daily driver, race car, etc.. and set just how much your willing to spend. My daily driver is carbed I dont have nor had any fuel related problems. It drinks alot of gas about 10mpg and will never pass emmissions. FI is much more efficient a little more complicated but with either one you will have to do some research and learn exactly how they work and how to tune. hope this helps

Please search for "carburetor", "carb" and "conversion". This has been covered MANY, MANY times with always the same argument from both sides.
The fact is that EFI is superior, period, and anyone who argues has no clue.
Does it cost more? Yes, it does. Is it more complicated? I say no, but those who are scared by electronics say yes.
There are a million used harnesses out there so getting the stock system working should not be a big deal. Or you can go aftermarket.
