Fuel Injection

Hagen & Cooter are both correct, as is the mention that you can put a carb on these engines and make more power. It has been done over and over. Fuel injection is no magic bullet. One advantage is not having to buy a high dollar Quadrajet (or whatever you run) from each race carb builder to see which one is fastest. I also have friends with carbureted Super Stock cars that have two from the same guy, and one is faster. None of my carbureted SS friends have only one race-built carb, they all have one faster than their other carbs. With EFI there is no magic ECU or keyboard. No worn out threads from too many jet changes, etc. Fuel injection only makes more power in some people's minds. They likely just truly don't know much about it. That stinking fuel injection is all they see.
