I believe Edelbrock is getting ready to release an intake that would allow you to do a carb swap.

If you want to work on your car about 10 times more than with fuel injection go for it

Why not convert to steam power as well, that will really be old school

lol these comments are funny but what they are trying to say is that going from your fuel injection to a carb is just not worth it. There are certain scenarios where staying with a carb or going carb can be worth it (money, time, experience) but fuel injection is the way to go.

or grab a horse and get it to pull ur stang along, proper pony power! lol

with the 3rd gen camaros if you go back to carb i think you make like 15-20 bhp/lbs just goin card (i think i read that somewhere) so would be and interesting swap to see if you do make any more power!

I think that extra power comes from the better aftermarket intake that people would use. Say if they go a new TB and aftermarket intake they'd prolly be looking at the same numbers.

Go for it!
I love being able to work on my car. There's a complete kit out, including electronics to change an LS1 Chevy over to a carb, Someone needs to build one for the 4.6.
I know it's not the way to go for the street because the computers/FI are absolutely the way to go, but There's a couple of competition applications I wouldn't mind using it on though. That way you can actually tune it at the track and you don't have to piddledick with all the electronics.
