If you were going to build rebuild your drag car would you leave it FE or go carbed?
What would you do different than what you've done in the past?

Carb is cheaper by far..

I love EFI but I think if I were going to build a strictly drag car, trailered to and from the track, I would do a carb setup. Less things to take off and keep track of when you need to make a repair, plus things like adjusting valves are easier because you don't have to remove the upper intake and intake tubing, etc.. it's easier to work under the hood on the carbed car. Also there are less wiring harnesses to burn, and less to troubleshoot if something goes wrong at the track.

EFI Spyder, but what are you wanting to run? Supercharged, Turbo, N2O, NA, small block, big block, etc.

I've had my Hot Rod both carb'ed and EFI. It was faster carbed, but I am going back EFI and boosted with it.

If I were building an occasional track only type of car that would see very limited street use, and I wasn't going to boost it ever, I would probably go carbed.

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe a little giggle gas for fun.

It has been so long since I have had a carbed car that I would stick to EFI myself.. THat is just due to lack of carb knowledge on my part though.

Strictly a drag car. Big block stroker, carbed, gutted, glide, back halved and low
