pontiacfreak142 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Why go carbed? its cheaper (hence the reason my 383 is being carbed to). Not to mention, from what i have read, LS1's tend to make a little more power with good carb setups over fuel injection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
