When I'm at Drag Week, and I cast my eye over the Unlimited cars, I'm not seeing many carbs :) .
Yep, take an EFI car from sea level to a mountain top and then from winter in Alaska to summer in White Sands . Then do the same with a finely tuned carb and see the diifference.
Do you have a drag week car?, or anything close to that that requires that level of performance?, or costs even close to what those guys spend?. Comparing drag week cars to this conversation is apples and oranges.
