well of course they suck... thats how they work I guess it really depends on what you want as to which is better. Injection can give you better gas mileage but when your wide open your wide open no matter if its carb or Injection.

So long as you've got the right size carb...


I don't like carbs. I'm good w/ them but I don't like them. especially multiple ones.

carbs are cheap and pretty easy to tune, you can't even get a decent injected intake for the price of a good carb, then u have to get a meter, injectors, throttlebody , have it tuned ....... i've had em both and a carb is muuuccchhhh cheaper

people have made a lot of power with carbs... nothing wrong with them, just old technology that can still work today
