Do 8 Stack EFI or Weber Carbs Run Good On The Street?

Just think of how much fuel you can buy staying carb instead of switching to efi for the price of the system. A 2 mpg gain efi over carb is not that great.

How much hp do the screens rob from your engine. With the Roush 8 stack k and n filters it's about 25hp and up.

It's a Crane Cams 349521. Looks like they've dropped the grind but Jegs and Summit still have it. Link to specs

222Intake/228 Exhaust Not real wild but great for cruising and track performance

You miss the point - it's not about economy, its about how easy it starts and how I can now cruise with the small block guys and make it to the next station.

At 10 mpg and a 15 gal tank, your cruise range is really limited. More than once, I was crossing my fingers, hoping I'd make it to the next station.

I have a 40 gallon tank. I understand efi. Just on my car I don't drive it enough to justify the cost. And a well tuned carb is fine in az. I wanted efi and had the funds to do it but I choose carb for ease, mechanical fuel pump for ease. Etc. keeping it simple. Your intake looks great.
