Default Is it worth converting to carbs?

I might have access to an intake manifold for my civic which allows to run 4 small webbers.

Is it worth converting over to carbs from fuel injection? Would I even gain anything?

its only worth a try if you do have the knowledge and resources in tuning the carbs. If you limited in information about it and dont know anyone to help you out with it, it might be a pain in the long run, unless you have the time to learn it. overall. its a good upgrade to work with. Just not as much technical support on it from H-T.

Actually most of the responses are right on. Weber carbs are really hard to tune but then again you can buy one of those weber everything you need to know book and find out. Myself I have decided to convert my carb truck to trottlebody injection. Webers are good carbs great power but difficult to tune. Now if you had a weber like set-up with fuel injectors into the manifold controled by a ecu and regulator then that much better.
