I'm a huge fan of EFI. It is more expensive, and more difficult to tune. But it's far more accurate than a carb. Sometimes they make more power than a carb, and sometimes they don't.

an 8 stack system is essentially 8 different throttle bodies, and no common plenum. That's a different animal than most people are used to. There are some definate tricks to getting it tuned. And there are some engine build changes and tricks that can make the difference between success and failure.

Removing a single carb and bolting on an 8 stack system to the average SBF won't work nearly as well as you think it will. And getting good power from that system is not difficult, but it's different than a single carb.

Do your home work.
