I agree with you guys about a carb being better then FI to a point. For a N/A setup fuel injection adds little or no performance but it will keep it streetable and better mpg though. Unless you buy a Accell, or FAST system the benifit is just not there to offset the price which will be huge.
Now poweradders are a different story. You can't beat the aftermarket FI systems with a wide band O2. Lets see a carb car run 25 psi of boost with a spark retard beat a Fi car with a complete PMS and WBo2. It will not happen and if it does they will be rebuilding it soon.
