[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 282988, member: 1384"] [b]Re: Re: Re: predator carbs[/b] Yep. Tiny valves, tiny runners, but I'd say they are less dookie than late 70s/early 80s carb heads. (at least under 4000rpm). All in all, the mid 70s to the mid 90s was dark days for factory performance.... If you notice though, a lot of the torque ratings from early 90s efi motors (from all manufacturers) aren't that different from "modern" engines of similar displacement. The horsepower number is what is so much higher on new engines, mainly because they are made to turn 1500-2000 rpm more than their older counterparts. Of course this gives you a much wider powerband, and overall better performance, but "old" efi shouldn't be completely shunned on a simple trail rig, it's still better than a carburetor.... [/QUOTE]
