regalman i agree with you. Fuel injection is an awesome system great mileage great powerband. The shaved truck intakes look awesome im buying one for my truck when i LS swap it. But why go carbed i have a few answers to that question. The big primary one is that even though EFI is pretty damn easy with a flashed pcm, and a plug and play harness. It still scares the crap out of alot of people. Some just wanna dip there toe in the LS water and try it out first before taking the plunge into EFI.
People i talk to get confused on why im putting a carb on my malibus LS but yet at the same time putting EFI on my truck. My truck is a driver i want the mileage and bump key starts. My Malibu on the other hand is a toy thats going to see alot of cam changes, spring changes etc at test and tunes. So lord knows im not gonna send my pcm to a tuner each time im playing around with different combinations lol. And some people like that. They wanna change a cam or rear end gear and call it a day myself included.
For anyone else reading my post dont let EFI scare you its an awesome system. If you wanna go carbed then i support you. But i promise you this it scares you now with all those wires and junk. But with a plug and play harness like PSI and a stock ls ecm or Holley with there big fancy ecm and harness its really not any harder than a carb.
