I never said that you said anything other than what you did, however your arguments are definitely slanted one way. I don't think you are dumb or stupid, you own Mopars so obviously you have something positive going on in the thought department.
If I was to race again it wouldn’t be with a Chrysler. I’ve been shot on by chrysler enough and seen it happen to others that I wouldn’t race with one. On top of the fact you can’t buy **** for this Chrysler stuff. So I don’t know what positive comes out of being a “MoPar” guy.
Lets approach this from another angle; carbs, EFI, points, Electronic ignition, etc. are all just tools to be used to achieve one thing or another. None of them are bad, none of them are superior in all respects. Like any tool, the user has to figure out what will get the job done for him/her. I completely recognize the simplicity and functionality of carbs, points, etc. but I really like the versatility and general ease of use of new technology; doesn't mean its "all that", just means I like it.
Other than ignition timing, which most carb guys screw up and lock it out, you can do the same with a carb. You have to data log it, and by data log I don’t mean just measure engine RPM and driveshaft RPM. You need to log that AND throttle position, manifold absolute pressure, Lambda (O2 ain’t all that but you can use it) and look at all of it together. If you do that, you can narrow a carb down to do what EFI does. What you can’t do is adjust the timing curve with a computer so you have to do that mechanically, but once the curve is scienced out, there is no real reason to change it. If you have any experience with what you are tuning you should have a good idea what the curve should look like, and if not, the data should tell you what it wants. FWIW, that is almost never locked out.
I have met people who have no idea how to use or tune a carb which seems very odd having grown up with them and while at present I prefer EFI, I am glad I still understand how a carb works (same with points). I do not believe that "old technology" is bad in any way, in fact in some applications it is probably superior. This doesn't make it better or worse, it makes it the right tool for the job.
I know guys who have tuned carbs as long as I’ve been alive (maybe longer) and they STILL don’t even know how to set power valve timing. You can blame the morons at Holley for allowing that to be taught all these years. That one thing...power valve timing AND how the PV actually works is the biggest sin in carburation I can think of. And yet, they still do it.
Anyone here who is slamming someone because of what they know (or don't know) and what their preference is (or isn't) is an idiot and narrow minded.
