Are you 'tarded or something?
Tell ya what...we'll both start with $2k to buy bolt ons for a stock short block. Rules are we can only buy brand new parts at Summit prices, no discounts allowed. You have to start your build with an H/C/I upgrade, and no power adders allowed...we're going all motor.
I bet you anything in the universe i'll make more power spending the same amount of money if you build yours with EFI. Once you buy a decent set of heads you won't be able to afford much else, while i'll get a carb/intake/heads and a cam and still have change left over.
Yeah you know it's not like i'm saying EFI is inferior....it's definitely better than carbs, but carbs definitely have their place in racing and they hold their own just fine against EFI. Not to mention they're way cheaper and easier to work on, and cleaner under the hood.
j/k....so how much the stroker set you back? when you getting it painted?

Make it $2200 and i'd take that bet, and when done my car would be worth more, and the converted carb car would be worth less. Because the resale on an Efi car with a carb is damn near cut in half.
Yeah you might be right there....but that's only if you ever plan on selling your car, and personally i can see mine decomposing around me before i sell it
Like i said, i'm not saying carbs are absolutely better than EFI, but you also can't say they're not fast and effective. It's all about simplicity in getting the job done
When I see a carbed engine in an EFI car, I roll my eyes and keep walking. It makes me think of some redneck who things a holley double pumper makes anything have 400hp.
Seriously, do you really relate carbs to rednecks
On an EFI car, yes, unless its a drag car.

I agree!! After everything I have been through with this car, in such a short time, I will either be buried in it, or my kids will be willed the damn thing!! I don't care about resale. I am doing this car for ME and for what I want. It is all about personal choice.
That's EXACTLY how I feel about my Capri. I've been to hell and back in that car and it will be a member of my family forever. :SNSign:
If he wants to group us with rednecks we can group him with well, what you're insinuating about opinions hehe.
