If both are properly tuned and are of the right size, they should be about the same HP...... You'll get better driveability, emissions and fuel economy from a EFI unit.

Its just my own opinion but if a car has EFI, I'd spend the money and get the EFI working better rather than switching to a carb.

well, in my case i have the crossfire injection system, which is pretty miserable. I think my only real option is to go pure carb
