Also they try to make the playing field pretty level. Using carbs is a good way of doing that.

The real power producing sport (non-drag of course) F1 uses EFI. They wouldn't make nearly the power that they do or as reliable is they used carbs.

Ahh, but F1 uses TBI with exact length runners for maximum power. I really don't see why Nascar would even benefit from efi...they pretty much just rev their motors to 9k and stay there almost the entire race. F1 on the other hand has alot of changes in rpm.

How is he "interjecting" his opinions? He holds a degree in chemical engineering...do you? Regardless, this argument has been around since the dawn of EFI and probably will be around for much longer. Great improvements have been made in injector technology and can only continue to get better. Take for example the Lucas plate style injector...they give a better atomization pattern at high fuel pressure than pintle style.

I'll be a Civil/Environmental engineer in 2 years. Does that mean once I am I can say ridiculous ---- and just claim, "Hey, I'm an engineer!" Again, an engineer is a person of applied science. If he has no data validating his opinion its meaningless.
