You were kinda of dissing the carburetor, know that if you want to
go fast like the National Hot Rod Association's Pro-Stock class that
could be injected gas, the winners chose a Holley four barrel at over
two hundred miles an hour in six seconds:

injection is a SMOG thing, forcing the owner to tweak it with
programmable chips, if he's going to keep the newer car on the road,
legally

Yep. But that example was on a ricer page and they tend to pay
out the **** for the oddest things like those annoying fartpipes. :)

There's nothing wrong with carbs, if properly setup and maintained.
In this case, the engine came with an MPI system, and we are going to use
it. Andy will be driving this rig at least 80% on the street.

let me add to that. If properly set up for where you are. A day trip here
can take me from 3500ft to 11,000 ft, down to 2000 and back over. A Holley
needs re-jetting for what, every 2000 ft of change? This FI system has a
barometric pressure sensor that will compensate.
