The big advantage of computer control EFI is that you can run higher compression, and a larger cam as compared to a carb set up... and still maintain good idle and drivability. And like Tim said...the formulation of the fuel is different today, and is designed for EFI engines and does not works as well in carbs.
I went with a single plane intake, port fuel injection, 4-barrel TB, and a GM ECM on my last build. It has the old school look... with all the performance gains of the fuel injection and computer control. GM Performance parts makes a single plane that fits the LS3 heads, and the LS7 heads... so you can run a carb or 4-barrel TB.
Decisions... decisions!
