Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question

yellow rose said

I start my junk at 15 degrees and I couldn’t tell you the humidity but it’s pretty damn dry here. I don’t even let an EFI car start and move that quickly. When it’s that cold I spend about 30 seconds and head for the gate, which is about 75 yards away. At the gate it will sit and idle just fine.

And that’s on a Strip Dominator. This spring it’s getting a tunnel ram. It will be the same.

Wet hurts it a lot, this is where the icing happens. But you're basically admitting it won't idle on it's own right away, correct? Moving the carb further away isn't going to help it's manners in this regard. Physics in action. Or alternatively the carb is quite rich always.

If you can't just toss the keys to someone who doesn't know the car and they can operate it it's not really working right. Even stock vehicles struggle at 40 and 80%+ humidity with carbs and today's gas.
