Default FI against the Carb

Cobrashoch Okay Ron here we go. A carb will make more power in the top end than a FI system because the fuel and air start to mix sooner, in the intake and don't have to wait till the intake valve opens up. Port injection is close but the carb still wins. You have a better vaccum with the carb in the upper end than the throttle body because most throttle bodys flow min of 1000 cfm. You can run 75% of all motors on 750 cfm carbs and produce good lower and middle tork and hp power. The carb manufactoring has gotten alot better. How ever I can change my timing curve ,fuel pulse, lean or richer running without lifting the hood on my car. No gas spills, no fire worrys, just turnon check file and download. Weather changes from hour to hour at some tracks. I can adjust faster and at certain rpms points better. This is the same problem 2100 cfm of webers have the same problem. These carbs top out on a BB at 6500-6800 rpm they run out of flow. I am not good at explaining this but this is what happens. In the mid range FI will make 5-10 hp and 10-15 tork more that the carb but the fine tuning is why. Nascar and Drag racing are the only racing that still strictly uses carbs only. I am not counting the Salt flat racers. Ok Ron your turn Rick Lake
