Break down the cost of carb vs. efi on a forced inducted setup making 700 hp.
Okay...balls to the wall senario.

Scotts case: Can't make his case, forget how much he paid for his carb.

EFI case: if you truely want balls to the wall tunability, you'll need some sort of "standalone" pcm. Take Pectel for example. $2500-3000 for the ecu with wiring harness. Add anywhere from $100-1000 for a laptop. That hasn't even touched larger injectors yet.


All in all, I think you can make a case for both sides showing either way is more expensive. I think expense should just be left out of the equation.
