Just for the comparison factor lets take two mustangs, a 2003 GT for example, and lets say a 90 Lx thats been converted. Then lets try to get to the same area, carb vs injection in a turbo application. For the sake of argumant lets just say the owner of both vehicles are planning to make say 600 or more to the wheels sooner or later so they go full on fuel system, same money there, they even use the same pump. now lets add up the cost for the carb setup $900 on the carb, $300 on the intake. Now for the injection $300 for some injectors, $175 for a mass air, $200 for fuel rails, $300 for a chip. Now both cars are in the 450- 475 RWHP range. But wait a second your carb set up has aluminum heads that have been ported, thats at least $1200, so I guess we can throw a Bullitt intake on the GT for the sake of comparison. Where in the hell is the carb advantage at? I just don't see it....
