To carb or not to carb

To expand on what was already said, I love the Weber 48mm DCO carb on my REPU. You could have the identical setup for easily under $1000, used for $500 or $600.

If you want something with similar performance characteristics to that weber you can buy a fuel injected throttle body for about the same price, but then you still need to buy an ECU and injectors and probably a few sensors so figure an extra $1500 or more. Ultimately for daily driving the injected setup will be more consistent and not need as much maintenance tuning, but on the track that generally isnt as much of a concern.
