Well CarCraft Does it Again........

[PatricksDad]

There is no cold start or driveability situation where a carb can compare to EFI at all.

At WOT there are situations where a well developed carb package can still be competitive. But most of these are classifications where a carb pacakge was either mandated, or where the rules limit the opportunities for EFI optimization. Field being equal it would be rare indeed to find a situation where all operation is at WOT with no advantage from ranges above or below peak.

I tend to hold the EMC deal off to the side since the rules have been contrived to force an advantage for EFI and new tech for editorial purposes, yet the carbs have still been in the running. Limiting throttle body size on the system using already reduced airflow as a result of fuel inclusion is pretty silly, as is the on again-off again mandating of dual plane intakes. These days a Dominator/single plane package is pretty much a Summit Racing mail order bolt it on option at less than the cost of a catalog EFI controller alone for any decent engine, yet they are illegal in EMC.

So how big of a gap is 200 points in the EMC scoring? Something different for this year?

I wonder if the efi results would have been different had they gone w/ dual 4150 flanged throttle bodies ......

What we need is TC to get into it with B3M. That would be entertaining.

Quit whining about which is better, enjoy what you got, and finish a freakin car already!

I referred to the limited street rules where the competition is pushed in one direction. Extreme is entirely another deal, and while with darn near no rules its fun to watch, but I feel it has moved far far away from the contest's original premise. Getting closer to Comp Eliminator on a dyno.

Me too - a single 102 mm throttle body is a bit smaller than what I'd use on a 728 hp engine.
