What do you have against turbos. People seem to love this n/a power thing but after you have actually done a turbo build you discover that you suddenly have a lot of power to play with and the power band is much better on a for an equivalent turbo engine compared to an n/a build. Anyway that is beside the point, the guy that I previously mentioned has had more issues than you can imagine. It constantly runs on 3 cylinders because it overfuels and gunks the plugs, the distributor had to be converted to run without an ecu and sometimes decides it will not work. And it doesn't start on cold mornings, I even push started him once.

I would stick with fuel injection because unless you have supporting mods it will not make a huge difference and when you do do supporting mods you will probably have to retune the car again (and possibly rejet if you change internals). Also they run rough depending on the temperature, altitude and humidity. Someone good with carbies will be able to keep up with it but it is most defiantly not for the faint hearted.
