      Fuel Injected vs. Carburetor?

      So, I know this thread may and can cause a lot of controversy, and I know I will get MANY different responses, so I will try to clarify myself as much as possible.

      My father and I are currently running a 350 SB in our '73 El Camino. My dad and I are planning on pulling it out to drop in a fuel injected 350 from a donor. He is using it as a daily driver in "nicer" weather, so he wants something a little more compatible.

      This leaves me with the old 350, and it got me thinking further about fuel injection versus a carbureted engine. If I was to rebuild the engine, i.e. new heads, new cam, valves , etc., and simply had an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake with a 750 CFM carb versus an Edelbrock LS style EFI intake with a 90mm throttle body, where would I get more power?

      I know this leaves the question: What is your main use of the car?
      The answer is that I would like a car that can hit the track, hit the strip, and be a driver. This leaves me thinking that having and EFI setup with a laptop to change air/fuel ratios would be nice and convenient.



      I know I may sound ignorant, but no one has ever had a real answer for me!

      What are your thoughts? I trust all you guys out there!!
