1) Complies with racing rules that do not allow EFI.
2) Mechanics who have not learned anything since 1975 like carbs.

Other than that, they pretty much suck.

Whoever told you that obviously knows nothing about either rotaries or EFI.

The only time that a carb will give a better result is when you install one that can outflow the stock EFI intake system. Even then the benefits would only be in peak power, with losses in most other areas. The only reason you'd do this is if you want to go faster but can't afford to upgrade the stock EFI intake system, in which case you should've bought a TII in the first place.

i quess that shows me that the myth of the carb out preforming a EFI, is wrong. thanks guys.

one more quick thing, the racing beat intake manifold and the holly 600 cfm carb. would it notice hunge gains in power. and how much worse gas milage should someone buy one expect to see?
