Carb vs EFI

Hey All,

Just about to star on my zetec conversion on my Mk1 Escort. One thing that's been puzzling me (being fairly new to all this) is why you would opt for carbs over EFI.

Cheers,

Are you talking std EFI? if so, carbs will give you far more power/torque, if you're talking mappable throttle bodies efi then they are better than carbs.
