OBD1 ECU + chip and tune would make more sense on pretty much every level.

I'm just trying to figure out how you think a carb would be more efficient than fuel injection.

Irrelevant from that, how do you plan on gaining performance by messing w/ fuel mixtures, unless you add a big turbo or different injectors or something else major the stock maps should be just about dead on...
