well the way i look at it If you dont care about millage and street manors. go carb because your price per HP will be alot less and if you spend the time on the carb the drivabillity can rival FI in a set set of conditions. were the FI accels is if any thing changes like temp, humidity and even barometric press uer. so if its a racer or street pounder go carb to save a few bucks. But if its a cruiser and you want to be able to hop in and get the same performance every time and not have to swap jets go fuel injection.

carb
carb $650
intake Edelbrock Super Victor Intake $544.39
tuning stuff $100
ignition box $ 350


fuel injection
intake fast 92 $879.95
TB fast 92 $480.00
fuel injectors $600.00
tuning stuff $800.00


well you make the choice.

or

stock intake or ls6 $75-300
ported stock tb under $100
fuel injectors $free with intake- 200
tune $5-600

I don't see the point of an lsx swap if you're going to carb it...just build a sbc or bbc and enjoy cheaper parts and less hassles.

thanx for all the input guys, I have decided to go injected on my 6.0, prolly gonna go with the stock truck intake for the flow... helps that its cheap too! and the 243 heads that I already got free are gonna help too!

My opinion is biased, since I work for an EFI tuning company, but EFI all the way
