ls carb vs efi?

[Cruisin'73]

+1 vote for EFI. I was in the same boat when I did my budget 5.3l swap in my Nova. After much debate I elected carburation over a stock EFI system. And for the past 2 summers and 6000 miles I have fallen in love with my rumbling junkyard mouse.

But now I am ready to go EFI:
-I’m tired of constantly chasing a good tune.
-I’m fed up with buying jets and nozzles and pumps and cams and diaphrams and restrictors and....
-I’m sick of the car performing differently when I drive to work on a cold morning VS when I drive home on a warm evening.
-I’m frustrated that when I drive from sea level up a cold mountain pass my car is a misbehaving mess.
-My wife is sick of the smell when I park a hot car in the garage and the carb off-gasses (and if she ain’t happy…).
-I’m pissed about the embarrassment of fighting to start and run a heat-soaked car at the track or a show.
-But most of all I am going INSANE listening to my fuel pump sing me the song of his people! NNNNNAAAARRRRRRRRRrrrrrRRRRRR….
(Disclaimer* With lots of time, dedication, cost, research and praying I know it is possible my carb MIGHT perform on par with EFI.)



That is why this winter I am spending the time and small additional cost that I should have invested up front to go EFI. But either way you are going to have a TON OF FUN and learn a lot!

AND GOOD NEWS! If you do decide to go carb’d; I know where you can pick up an Edelbrock dual plane, Speed Demon 750, MSD6010+harness and one lousy POS fuel pump for a good price! HAHAHA…serious, IM me if interested
