If you really think that, then you've never had a properly set up carbureted fuel system. While a carburetor can never approach multi point EFI, they can certainly almost rival a TBI. EFI certinaly has its merits, but to say TBI is "far more reliable" than a properly set up and tuned carbureted system is just not true. The one and only point where TBI is consistantly better is warm up. With a good return system in place a modern HP carburetor is tough to beat. You sure will not catch me spending money on a TBI system. I would be interested in some sort of multi point system, but for me, it's not worth replacing good old faithful with a TBI. There's just not that much of a difference. People who say there is a night and day difference across the board between carburetors and TBI have probably never had a good carbureted system to begin with.
