Carb tuning doesn't scare me, but I like the reliability and consistency of Fuel Injection. I remember when people were using junkyard OEM throttle bodies, mostly from GM vehicles, to convert to a basic form of EFI. I considered it, but never took that plunge. At this point carbs really don't interest me. Now that I could get a
superior throttle body system to those old OEMs, like the ******, or a sophisticated MPI EFI system like Terminator X or X max, I can see no good reason to go to a carb.
This discussion was really meant more to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the most logical EFI setups based on performance or performance limitations, overall cost, and tunability. Because of the limited resources available to a 1995 vehicle using OEM engine management, I don't see that as a viable option.
I have already determined that I want to use an RPM Airgap manifold, either the original or the Hughes version. I like both of them, and I really like the Hughes MPI ability but since I have an original Airgap intake, I have to decide if the perceived advantages of MPI over modern throttle body injection is worth the added cost. The Hughes intake would add about 1250.00 to the cost after the intake, fuel rails, and a throttle body. And the Terminator X is about 1250.00 to start and could require additional pieces. Adapters, connectors, etc. So I would be close to 3K to do all of that.
The Sn1per is also around 1250.00 but since that includes all of the electronics, sensors, throttle body, etc. it is definitely the least expensive. I honestly think that at the power level I am planning to be at, there is probably not a significant handicap to using Sn1per throttle body EFI compared to Hughes Airgap/Terminator X EFI. If this were a max effort race build I believe there is a handicap, but for this I am inclined to think not. This is the conversation I was trying to start here. Cost vs trade offs of the three, but the OEM 95 stuff is already off the table now. That leaves the two third party options.
