I think the main reason for NOT combining FI cards with Carb cars is rather simple...if you consider that the developement, R&D, etc on the carb cars vs FI cars are not the same....Carb cars have almost reached their potential, while FI cars with fuel injection, software programs, etc have far more future R & D to improve performance.

With all (blocks, cranks, rods, pistons, cyl heads, cams, etc) assumed legal for both, the FI cars will continue to find greater performance improvements beyond these hard parts. Also as someone has noted, a FI car has a far greater advantage with weather changes, a fact that makes a carb car far more difficult to correct for, yes you can change jets, timing, but you can't change the fuel curve, or timing curve, reprogram the software, as a FI car.

just my 2 cents....
