<VV> EFI vs Carburetors

Given that EFI delivers fuel to the intake tract as well, and under a good deal higher pressure than carbs EVER could, the claim that carbs offer better emulsification and charge cooling is extremely suspect. Modern fuel injectors atomize gasoline to less than 10 micron droplet diameter, far better than a carb could EVER do!

I belive that if the drag racers spent as much time developing efi for drag
racing as they have developing carburetors for drag racing,
they would probably get better results than they are with their carbs. The
reasons given for the carbs apparent superior results (better
emulsification and better charge cooling) are fixable by using twice as many
injectors at half the flow rate, located farther from the
intake valves than is normally done on street cars. The advantages of such a
set-up would be much better consistency of cylinder to
cylinder fuel air ratios, much better consistency run to run, and consistency as
the temperature changes through out the day.
