I agree with a lot of that. I'm a carb guy to the core but like dabbling in EFI. I never viewed it as superior though.

Our cars have not run any faster at the track with EFI and drivability is about the same. There are only 2 real advantages I've seen with EFI. 1 is a pinch of mpg with EFI because I can more precisely tweak specific cruise areas without affecting another area.

The other is ease of tuning for the elevation changes we deal with. Driving most of the time at 5000+ feet with DA over 9000 in the summer, and then going to the track close to sea level where I had to either change the carb tune or make a compromise. The EFI makes that effortless now with a few key strokes. The datalogging is a nice bonus.

These are just the cars I play with though. Our daily drivers still use a good ole trusty carb.
