I used to have a worked 308 in which i tried/ran three different carbs, rochester quadrajet, holley 650 sq bore double pumper and holley 600 square bore vac sec. The rochester made the engine smooth and better economy, the double pumper was alot less smooth, power came on in more of a hit and used alot more juice, and the vac sec holley was a bit of a comprimise between the previous 2. So in my experience no single carby can offer what fuel injection can, i.e. smoothness, throttle response and fuel economy.

The only two advantages carbs have over injection is cost and simplicity. Technology advacement would show fuel injection is far superior to carbs, nearly 0% of new cars have carbs, might even be zero if they stopped producing morris in India Smile

So bacically carbs suck arse Laughing compared to fuel injection
