Carb vs. FI ?

[Jason Renville <Jason_Renville@ccm.al.intel.com>]

     Wilson,
     
     OK lets start the flame war.8*)
     
     Carbs VS FI.
     
     I will offer my opinions.  I don't think that working on FI is too 
     complicated.  You need to have patience, multimeter and a Bentleys 
     Book.  If you want Hi-perf you have many more options and lower costs 
     with Carbs.  If you want a fuel efficient and slightly more powerful 
     stock motor then FI is the way to go.  I personally think it is easier 
     to tune a FI car.  You don't have to sync the carbs.  I think everyone 
     will agree that the single progressive carb is something to stay away 
     from in a Type 3.
     
        I vote for "go with what you are comfortable with"
     if you aren't  willing to learn how to work on FI and you already know 
     how to tune carbs then stick with them.
     
     If you don't know much about tuning carbs and you are willing to learn 
     about FI the stick with them.  
     
     And don't listen to anyone that tells you parts are too hard to find 
     for FI.  So many people are busy ripping out good FI systems that good 
     used parts are a dime a dozen.
