lvhdude,

Ahhhh....

What can I say? Aside from the fact that an induction system works, there's much more weight to the subjective, i.e. your tastes and wishes.

Any system is going to take plenty of time and cash to implement, so the "beauty in the eye of the beholder" really does apply! It's your resources, so select the one you are willing to spend time installing and debugging and let the good times roll.

Don't entirely rule out a carb, though. When they work, they work. When they don't, they can be as bad as any other induction system - my 1981 Zephyr has a 557 and a Holley. I (and others) have spent about as much time getting it to (mostly) work the way it's supposed to, as I have on the the EFI system on the Cobra's 521. It still has some quirks - like flooding the engine after a run, but only occasionally...

Ten years ago it was a Demon carb (aptly named ) that drove me to the Cobra's EFI.

So enjoy the hunt, consider all options and pick the one that makes you feel good about getting the result you're after!

Tom
