LS2 402- Carb vs. EFI

402 LS2 carb vs. EFI

Going with a 402 Ls2- 6 speed. I have a set of RHS 210cc heads.

Going carburated would be easier since I do not have harness for this set up. What are the advantages/disadvantages going with the Edelbrock system rather than EFI.

Thanks!

I haven't done any research for the hard numbers for this, but I would think that all of the hardware required to convert to carb would be almost as much as a custom wiring harness, not to mention a second hand one out of a f-body or something.

The drivability is going to be better with the EFI.

Unless you REALLY have a personal preference for a carb setup, I don't see any reason to take the motor backwards in technology. It's about the same amount of work either way.

There are many reasons to do both, so we do. The ECU-IGN-8-(x), is a perfect ignition for a carb'd LS engine.

I fit the GMPP "spider" intake (in-stock). This intake is GOOD for high HP, BUT short on low end torque.

Check-out "WaterThunder.com" as they use the "combo" to chase Gator's

I have been talking to Texas speed and said that it's mainly personal prefrence but said that carb set up actually flow alot more.
