carbs suck! there a pain in the ass to deal with especially when you gotta pump up the fuel just to start by pressing the gas pedal before you start it, EFI is easier to tune and you can get more power when done rite and more reliability from it

EFI is better if u hav a daily driver because of its ease of use. but if u think carbs arent reliable, y do pro racers use them in practically every race that cars are in? everything from nascar to the le mans series uses carb'd cars

they jus need to be babied more

which isnt a problem if u love ur car as much as u say u do

they are carb'd because they have so many mods that its too much to tune with, theres a couple of 10.5 outlaw cars that are EFI
