 | I voted F.I. but Fuel Injection properly fitted to an engine is superior today than a carburetor , in my opinion, and I rebuilt my first carburetor when I was 12. It was a 2 barrel on a 51 Studebaker. The BUT is: I sure got addicted to hearing the 4 barrel on my big block Chevy roar. Gasoline was 27.9 cents a gallon for Hi-test when I bought it so the secondaries got a lot of exercise. |

| Carb is still used in nascar. i love carbs cuz they have about 15% to 30% more power than a stock EFI motor. ya, they might be a b**** to start in cold weather or whatever but they pay off in power and torque when ya need it. And dont give me any of that **** about "bad gas mileage" cuz anybody that knows how to work it can get the same mileage from a carb motor as they could from a EFI and even if they couldn, anybody with a brain knows what kind of mileage a carb motor gets so they can obviously keep gas in it if they would rather drive one. thas my 2c

| I picked FI because here in Kentucky carbs stall out on our steep hills while 4 wheelin'. I once had to put gas in my windshield washer and route the hose to the carb to keep up with a FI in front of me......

| +1 to peterbilt, but I like FI for its efficency and reliability. But both my vehicles are carb'd and so much easier to work on. Plus a carb looks cooler that a throttle body any day.

| I go fuel injected all the way because if your deep in a rut on your side with a carb your truck sputters but with TBI you'll stay running till your almost upside down!!! |
