Default 69 Camaro Value ??? Injection vs. Carburation

As some of you may remember - I am in the process of finishing my Vortech Supercharged 69 Camaro. Currently, I am using the blow through system (carburated) and have recently received an opportunity to go injected at a minimal cost. All things considered, do any of you think this will add some value to my car in the case I should need to sell it? Please advise, and thanks ahead of time.

I would pay more for the same car with injection. How much? I guess it all depends on many factors. It isn't just an added value thing as much as it could increase the desireability of the car and sell much faster to a broader audience (providing it is a proven quality EFI unit and not some kind of frankenstien made up of all kinds of stuff).

thanks for your insight - I really feel this is the last link to a complete car as I have already invested in suspension, brakes wheels paint and many modern conveniences like power windows and AC - in your opinion what are some of the most sought after features these days - other than great driveability?

I think an EFI motor just looks plain better, it makes the engine bay look alot cleaner IMO.

I would also say emmisions, better tuneablity to maximize HP & TQ are other benefits.
