The car just runs better with the EFI. Most of the FFR'ss in CACC (about half the fleet) retain the stock EFI's. Unfortunately, I can't speak from personal experience, but only report what I've seen and what the trend seems to be.

For the "How To", our EFI Guru is Wade Chamberlain. He's building his second FFR. His first, a stock motor car with a Vortec will run 10's, spin the tires at will, and get 22 MPG cruising.

Go over to capitalareacobraclub.com and ask him.

If carb, agree with the above. Go Demon, not Holley. I had a Holley 1850 on a more or less stock 302 that ran great. Also had a Holley 4778 on a fairly tweaked 351W and never could get it set up. Switched to a Speed Demon ald motor ran great. But follow BG advice on which Demon to get. Metering is different depending on camshaft duration.
