Default Advantages to adding carbs to my Z6?

I just installed a Z6 and thinking of adding carbuerators. Can anyone give me some insight on this? Thanks!

Converting an EFI motor to carbs is a lot of work, mostly in removing stuff that is no longer necessary. I think it'd be more trouble than it's worth for a street-driven car, as it'd take a bunch of tinkering and wouldn't come even close to passing emissions. It'd probably be quite a bit more expensive than a turbo kit as well.

There's definitely a cool factor about a few double-barrel Webers or something, but they are best kept on cars originally carbureted IMO. Early RX-7's, Datsun Z cars and 510's...things like that...

IMO carbs are bad.. fuel injection is much more practical, accurate and better for changing weather (which happens daily, hourly) and carbs just aren't as good.

don't anybody yell at me... Yes carbs are better in some cases..

How many road race, drag race hondas are carbed?
i would say a very large percent of them are Fuel Injected

Don't get carbs unless you enjoy tuning them constantly.
