Any engine that is optimised will always be better overall on FI, no matter how it gets there as it is controlled, something the carb can't do anything remotely as well, it was good in it's day and better than some early FI systems, but it's had it's day if you don't need to use it.
And yes I am talking directly from back to back testing of various engines/specs carbs versus FI, you can get the odd gain here or there with carbs, but nothing remotely approaching the driveability of FI.

in this case it is not "complete crap"
just like it wasnt in the case of me putting bike carbs on my engine.
fair enough i could have stuck throttle bodies on and management but that would have cost £2000 for the kit? bike carbs on a manifold cost me £150 and did increase power.
fair enough fuel injection is controlled and better delivery of power/fuel but i dont care if my cars a little rough as its quicker, which is the reason i done it.
