Another thing to make sure you're aware of. With a carb, if the fuel pump gets a bubble of air, it's through before you know it, and what's in the bowls barely flinches. If an EFI pump sucks up air, it has 43PSI of head pressure keeping it from getting fuel back into it's wheels. A little tiny 1/4 oz of air can cause a 10 second loss of fuel pressure, and zero fuel delivery as a consequence. This could be disastrous in a long sweeping maximum speed curve.
