    carb or efi

    Someone talk me into going carb'd. 88 5.0 with speed density. I have a sn2000 head unit. brackets look like an easy find for it but with the long list of other things I need I'm wondering if its not just easy to go carbed and cheaper

    Depends on what you use the car for. You can get 20+mpg EFI and you will probably be in the 12 mpg with carb and probably a lot less power till 4.5k rpm. The list is not that different and not really cheaper when your trying to get the car to run right.

    Initially a carb always looks cheaper, but in the end, honestly from being @ both ends of the fence it comes out about the same.
    89 Coupe with parts stacked inside of it and about 30#'s of dust on it with no end in sight. :weird:





    Although I am collecting parts for a 12.5:1 393 :D
