Streets,
I know you're the resident expert on EVERYTHING here but why the bias against EFI? I guess the old points-type distributors were better than the Electronic distrubutors, too, huh?

You're not paying GM back, your TAKING ADVANTAGE of the money they spent that you don't have to! JEEZ, it's a modern truck! I can understand some of you guys having a sentimental or asthetic attachment to carbs in your rods, but a late-model Suburban?!?! Come on!

Predator makes a great carb but it still sucks hind-tit to any properly sized and tuned EFI set up! And EFI is far less likely to leave you stranded than some would have you believe. Why do you think your new cars have such long warranties? Because the manufacturer knows it's not coming back anytime soon and they don't have to spend money fixin' it! But the warranty is a great selling point.

And don't even get me started on mileage and driveability.....

Dragging a modern vehicle back into the dark ages of carburetion is beyond my comprehension! Maybe he should put points and a generator in it too! And lose those damned ABS brakes! Airbags are the work of the Devil! I'll bet some wooden spoke wheels would look bitchin! And for goodness sake, get rid of PS/PW/PL/AC/Seatbelts/Safety glass and anything else those do-gooder's at GM put in there to mollycoddle you! Buncha buttinski's with their newfangled gadgets! Probably get us all killed!
