Sounds like you are acting as the "computer brain" to make the carb "smart" .
Seriously, this is one of the fundamental advantages of EFI - the computer does a much more precise job of fuel and timing delivery in a broader range of conditions that our engines operate in. This is especially important on the street where a motor must operate over a much broader range of temperatures, loads, transient conditions, etc. than a race car would encounter.
