Some one explain to me why a carb would make more power on the top end? Given the same intake(lets say a single plane), the air flow would be the same. With EFI you get better distribution and thus can run it a bit leaner(make more power). My throttle body looks like a 4 barrel holley with no float bowls, so what would the difference be in flow or power? With EFI, you can add cfm with out hurting the low end. I am not aware of a high dollar race class that does not use fuel injection. Certainly, if a carb made more power they would use it. Nascar builders would use efi in a heart beat if the rules would allow it. I have seen guys pick up mph at the drag strip when adding cfm, like going from 750 to 1050 cfm. The et might be lower, but clearly more top end power. Just like you guys, I have seen carbed motors that run really well and if I had a great running carbed motor, I would stay with it. Scott
