First of all, don't get me started on LPG carbs
Personally, I'd go injection every time over carbs. Thing is, there are different ways injection is done.
Multi throttles are good things, plain and simple. They sound good, and have the throttle response they should. But a lot of it comes down to the computer. Most aftermarket set ups are done with a MAP sensor, not an airflow meter. Why? easier to set up, cheaper, and no inlet restriction. But a MAP sensor obviously can't give the precise measurement/response of a proper air flow meter. Allow me to be sacrelidge for a moment and mention Nissans. The RB26 has got six throttles and twin air flow meters as standard. It sounds fairly good, and has good throttle response without flat spots etc. However, people try and fit aftermarket management to these cars, and in the process ditch the air flow meters. Because of often large cams combined with short stroke engine and multi throttles, running them purely MAP sensed makes them run like something Briggs&Stratton would even avoid. So the first thing people do is ditch the multi throttles and stick one big one on, in an attempt to get a bit more vacuum happening. Yuck!
So do it right, use air flow meters and multi throttles along with a decent computer Of course, there is the (significant!) issue of cost...
