Depends on who you ask. Ask virtually any "Domestic performance" company
or person and they will tell you carbs, but read or talk to any person
about import cars and they would laugh at that statement. FI is
defiantly more advanced and provides better performance and efficiency,
but it is more complicated. And more difficult to tune to engine changes
(upgrades). And for the back yard mechanic who doesn't have all the
electronical tools to properly tune an FI system for a custom engine,
Carbs will continue to rule. But in real performance applications, and
new cars, you will never see a carb.
