Carb is simple and can work well but only if done properly and your components are compatible. I was carbed for a long time (and loved it) but later had trouble with it and couldn't work the bugs out which eventually led to me going to EFI (although I went aftermarket, air-only four barrel with Haltech and trigger-wheel ignition).

What didn’t you like about it so much that you went back?

Here's a link to my thread, I explained what I did and didn't like as well as unforseen issues I had to deal with along the way while converting it. Most were out of my control and completely avoidable but all was worked out and still worth it in the end.

A carburetor is just that. . What you are describing above is not a carb, it's the TBI system GM used on 95 and older engines. Take away the injectors and you have a TB, there are no bowls.

Yes and that’s why my proceeding post was a change to my plan, I really just want to use all mechanical means to control fuel administration. With draw through I can use the forced air to boost the fuel pressure in the bowls of the carb I have now, plus if I cool my fuel and use a temp sensitive kick on switch for the methiject I won’t have heating(thermos expansion) problems with the fuel coming into the plates through the turbo.
