should I keep my truck carb or dhould I upgrade to EFI I really want to know what you guys think... Im going performance so I want to know which would be better

 

well it all depends what type of horsepower you are gonna want? it works both ways, turbo and carbs.

i went from EFI on my 95 to dual mikuni carbs and am very very satified alot more horsepower i got then with stock. and also $$$ just depends on your pocket and time.

 

i dont care so much about price. i just want to get the best performance gains from my engine.

 

well this is what i got in my truck and is alot more stronger then when i had EFI and my top end is just CRAZY insane

so how much was the diffrence... and how much did you pay for the mikuni 44s

 

the cam was= 200
flywheel = 340
clutch = 312
head = 550
headers = 200
flowmaster = 90
msd= 150
msd coil= 40
MIKUNIS = FREE father had it for ever
canon intake= 299
LCE pulley set = 150
LCE valve components= 300

so now you break it down on going EFI but with all the stuff of your choice in it. turbo or what ever. it really depends my fren. I got my cam for topend because i changed my rear and tranny off a celica to replace my low end. the truck is insanely fast then when it was stock. last night got my first ticket speeding with my truck and ilegal draging on the bridge with a frens honda smoked him and then got smoked by TPD it was okay but i wanted to see where my truck stands. i whooped the turbo civic in no time left him 2 car lengths and thats even mishifting

 

wow... thats amazing im definitely stayin carb...and i hope to get my engine somewhere near yours... but one thing i would like to know is what should i start with... i jst dnt really know where i should start

 

that sucks about the speading ticket... if you were on the causeway, call me and i can get you out of it 99% of the time. my moms a cop and has been working there for 21 years tpd

 

get a 9lb flywheel! makes your engine have response a whole lot faster and better then you could ever know. thats a first. and while your tranny is out changing the flywheel you might as well get a clutch to.

 

now i know! your giving me bad ideas...LOL i would prefer though i to do it LEGAL that knight was just a one time thing. ill let you know when i go to the track to see.

 

i got a fresh 4.3 chevy v6 ill sell ya its badd asss!!

 

i think as far as effort wise..... its easier to get more power from an efi system. if you did a good set of balanced injectors, cam, big bore throttle body, a good open element intake system, headers and good exhaust on a efi......... the power response will be impressive.

if you did a wilder cam, sidedrafts, header, exhaust system and a light weight flywheel on a 22r, i think it also be an impressive gain but the sidedrafts would not be "smog legal" per say as the efi stuff would.

not to mention the fuel efficiency is still relatively better on the efi........ when i did the balanced injectors, cam, intake, header, and exhaust on my 22RE 4Runner, i was real happily impressed with the power and fuel milage i gained. i averaged 27mpg with 31" AT tires.... im sure if i had balanced it out with a BB throttle body, and a fuel mix calibrator, it would have been even better.
