Of course it would, that's why Honda kept using carbs on performance motors instead of fuel injection.... Name one advantage of putting carbs on a motor in a 5th or 6th gen Civic.

carbs are easier to tune
less sensors to fail
can be more fuel efficient with proper jetting
can make more power in the long run than fuel injection
cheaper to build power

why do you think nascar and most entries in IHRA still use carbs.

i switched my 97 Tbird from EFI to carb and i've shaved .7 seconds off my 1/4 mile without sacrificing any fuel economy on the highway when im running on 2 barrels and not all 4.
