Are carbureted engines reliable?
Again, because fuel injection and modern electronic controls are more accurate, fuel delivery can be tuned to match driver demand.
Carburetors are precise, but not accurate
, in that they cannot account for changes in air or fuel temperature or atmospheric pressure.
Which is better carburetor or EFI?
Warren Johnson: Properly tuned, carburetors make more peak power than
EFI
in a Pro Stock engine. … EFI performs well over 2,000 rpm or more. On average, if optimized, both systems perform about the same as far as how fast you get down the track. However, the EFI system is much easier to tune than a carburetor.
Which gives more mileage carburetor or fuel injection?
Which gives more mileage carburetor or fuel injection?
Fuel injection system
makes complex calculations which include fuel temperature, throttle response, etc to ensure the right amount of fuel is injected into the combustion chamber. This way the use of fuel is a lot more effective resulting in better mileage.
What are the disadvantages of fuel injection?
- It is important to filter the fuel carefully this may cause damages.
- Construction is difficult.

- It required more maintenance.
- It produces more sound.
- It may cause wear.
- There is an additional requirement of the nozzle, for every cylinder.

the Vortec uses a 72 degree bolt angle
. When the head is bolted to the engine, all the attachment bolts point straight up, as experienced mechanics know.
Is TBI the same as EFI?
just to clarify,
TBI is EFI
. efi stands for electronic fuel injection, which TBI most definantly is. most TBI trucks even had an EFI badge on the tailgate…. basically the difference between TBI and other injection methods comes down to placement and number/size of the injectors, as well as firing method/timing.
