[QUOTE]Originally posted by shade-: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by talaposa: [qb] The carburetor has to proportion the fuel supply by utilizing the flow of air into the engine. It's effectiveness is therefore limited by the cubic inches of the engine.This is a problem not faced by FI units since the computer calculates air fuel ratio. [/qb][/QUOTE]Huh? The only advantage in tuning an EFI setup has over a carb is in partial throttle situations where the feedback loop presents real-time air/fuel trim information to the injectors. And of course the engineers seem to be able to push the envelope of boosted EFI motors more easily than the carbed camp, but don't tell that to top fuel (still carbed). With a typical 4 barrel carb you can get a dead-nuts WOT tune on the secondaries and a decent idle/cruise tune on the primaries. Don't forget that some manufactures (Dodge included) had carbed motors with O2 sensors, at that point we're really debating not much more than a fuel delivery system. [/QB][/QUOTE]
