Why did you decide to go carb?

because Ford's EEC-IV is a PITA!

Don't get me wrong, I regret it know. I just wanted to get my car back and not have to break the bitch in, and not have to tune it. Guess that failed. I had to rebuild the motor because of a bad carb washing down the cylinders.
Plus carb's generally put down more power. Fuel is always there, the intakes are gonna flow good, you can throw a bigger cam in and not worry about the tune throughout the powerband, and the custom carb I got on now generally puts down 10-20 more rwhp than a fully dialed in carb. Best carb on the market. Bar none.

The guy Patrick James was real cool, and the sheet he sent me comprised of my engine specs is really comprehensive so that its golden right out of the box. $740 well spent. That cheaper than a standalone and laptop, and tuning.
If I were to of kept it F.I., I would of had to get a really good tune. I don't know many places around here that can do it. I sure as hell can't do it myself even with an anderson PMS. That solid roller, plus a healthy shot of gas would of put my car out of business for eternity trying to dial it in. Guess thats not saying much now because its off the road as we speak.
My boy has a 357 F.I. Trickflow H/C/I 10:75:1 notch that my friend tuned on a speedbrain standalone, but it always is having issues. Plus it only put down 340 on pump 360 whp on 100 octane. It came in at 266whp. The fuel injected windsors I've seen never really run all that well.
I didn't want to be reliant on a laptop or good tuner (that could be 100 of miles away).
I'm hoping for 4XX on motor and 5XX on the gas to the wheels. The old motor w/ the defective carb made 506@6300 rpms on the engine dyno.

thing is going to make 350 at the wheels and you're going to have to tear it down again. It'll be running again sometime late 2008.
