carb usually has a harder time as you go up in altitude and mpg's are usually worse.
EFI FTW....the extra bit of work will pay for itself many times. this is 2011 after all, carb is old tech by today's standards. sack up and do it right the first time lol. you only have one life, make the most of it and don't waste your time wasting time on a carb...
thats my 2 cents lol

My old 81 F250 got the Holley 4bbl TBI kit on the 460. Bolts on just like a Carb would, plug it in and you have fuel injection, that easy!
In my humble opinion, it is 2011, there is no reason to have anything that is not injected. Unless you are a wiz at tuning a carb ( I am definitely not) FI is definitely the way to go.

Can they be made to be competitive on the track? lol Boy do I have some stories I could tell you!!
Ask all the street cars running around Toledo and south of Detroit bout my old 2.3t 87 Ranger!
Here an old vid of mine racing a EVO on 4 slicks while Im on a old set of BFG drag radials.I had to lift early since it pushed the headgasket out but still coasted to a 12.50 at 110

Then EFI is the only way to go.

I'm arguing that the extra time spent swapping in an EFI will be worth the effort over say the time savings of using a carb motor. But this depends on what the OP is skilled at, or is willing to learn.
Tune a carb correctly and know how to tune it when situations call for it, then a carb swap WOULD be better than an EFI IF the OP knows nothing about wiring. Less down time.
On the flip side:
Swap an EFI motor in and wire it correctly and it will operate consistently under all driving circumstances (sea level, 9000ft etc), THEN an EFI swap (while taking up more time in your garage while you wire it) will save you time in the long run. No down time ever after that.
The 4 extra weeks in my garage required for an EFI swap were I to do one, would be worth the few extra MPG's and me having peace of mind that the motor requires no tuning ever under different driving circumstances.
I'm basing this off myself though, and me being a wheeler, would need my motor swap to ALWAYS work with no hassles.
