I'm 52 years old, I've never owned a carb as reliable as my LT-1's fuel injection! I was a hard sell, absolute dyed in the wool carb guy. I've been converted in the last 15 years or so. The are more responsive than the best pro built carb, they get better mpg, they start every morning, even today at 5 degrees, on the first crank, without touching the pedal. Yes there are experts that with enough time and money, can make a carb run very well, but it will never have the power, driveability and economy at the same time as efi can.
