[T3] Keep FI or go Carb?

[Keith Park]

One thing to keep in mind with Jim's comments, if your putting carbs on a
stock engine, your not going to have any more power than you would with
carbs, in fact, the FI will give you better lower end as its not relying on
Vacuum to get the mixture in there.

If your going beyond 1776, you going to have to learn A LOT about the D jet
to make it work, or use an aftermarket FI.

Opinions will clearly vary, so here's mine:

If you want reliability, economy, drivability, and low pollution 
stick with the FI.

If you have plenty of money and want power and bragging rights, and 
don't care about spending months getting the jetting right, or you're 
planning to put this on a very large displacement engine, move to 
carbs.
