Well, if you can have a different venturi size then I want a bigger throttle body.

What a lot of people dont understand is that EFI is basically a carb that you tune with a laptop. If you tune without an air/fuel ratio meter(as i have for the past two years) then you are in the same ballpark as most carb guys. If you use an air/fuel ratio meter then you can tune it in very nicely. But this meter also works all the same with a carb.

If you arent using one, you are just tuning by the seat of your pants.

Also, I would never set the tune up in the computer to pick up ET at a race. Most racers are doing this with shift points, and timing. I can easily drop a few degrees of timing in the laptop, and you carb guys just have to take a few min to turn the distributor.

Give EFI a try once... it is a pain in the *** most of the time. Only 10% of the time do I really have a clue what I am doing.
