Well I did leave out the other obvious advantages and expenses I'm eliminating like:

As stated overall drivability will be better.

The system will be continually re-tuning itself instead of me (or a good carb tech at ??? $$$/hr) having to do it.

Turning as much gas as possible into forward motion as opposed to washing down the pavement. More miles per gallon of gas / I get to drive more.

My very expensive engine will last longer, again more driving.

Sure you can possibly pick up a few HP's going with a carb but at these levels I doubt it will have much effect on the volume of fecal matter in my underpants. Not to mention your biggest problem in high RPM racing is the Winnebego - like arodynamics of the Cobra body...

I think it's gonna be a great ride...
