Yeah, I bet Germans have no clue what a carb looks like. Mileage and pollution maybe, but I'd compare power any day. I tried a 900cfm Holley EFI for my chevota once. Mileage dropped 20%, and HP dropped even more, very dissapointing. After a month trying to get it to run like my carb I sent it back. I'm sure a real EFI would have been different, but beat the power of my carb? I doubt it. Cars I've dumped because of $$$ EFI trouble: Toy Celica, Honda Prelude, Toy 4X, and 300ZX. The EFI on my bmw works, but barely (it's gone soon). My old benz seems to run ok, but puts out 10 times the hydrocarbons it's supposed to (going soon too). Cars I've dumped because of a carb: None.
The computer and EFI are the only things that makes me nervous about my latest Benz. My other vehicles are all carburated and never leave me stranded. I know, behind the times, but I've been burned so many times it's hard to adjust uc.
