I would also have to say it depends on where you plan on driving your car most, street or race. I spent the money on the latest and greatest dfi setup and while tuning it is on ongoing thing to get it right on. I wouldn't say it makes more power than a carb, but just as much and with much more reliability, mileage, and options such as controling timing, accesories. Some might not see paying that much for something but I have had it with carbs on the street, but that's just me. Others seem to have really good results with carbs on the street. My brother has a very similar car but has a 308ci, track heat heads, stage 2 cam, and a carbon an air gap. And it has a more aggresive sounding idle than my 347ci, ported track heat heads, stage 3 cam, and vic jr carb intake (with injector bungs). The fi smoothed out the idle and made the whole setup very streetable yet still very capable at the track.
