I prefer the FI with the "stock or near stock" engines as it does produce more mid-range torque than carbs. That is what street cars are all about, torque! ( Great for the Autoxing too)
What I have seen locally is the carb cars usually have not been taken care of. The FI had a problem sooo the cheap solution is to put on carbs in a half assed way.
The FI cars are usually better cars that have seen regular maintanance and been taken care of. Hence worth more $$$$$
This is not always the rule but ....
I too had carbs (Dells) which ran great at WOT other than that ....the noise...smell...keeping them insync...tuned... I prefer to drive the car than always be working on it so I re-installed the FI off a junkyard car. I have learned how to fix and tune the DJet which was really pretty easy with all the resouces on the net now.
