4Brl or TBI?

If money were not an issue... What would render better performance, fuel economy and reliability? Holley four barrel on an offenhauser intake or a 2barrel holley stand alone TBI system on an adapter? The dual plane effect would reduced I guess as the primarys are fed to a different smaller plane and secondaries go to a larger set of runners....

The stock EFI system beats both your options on all counts, with the right combination of parts.

Well then money is issue I can get all parts for used EFI (all harnesses also)for less then you will pay for the intake . And it will almost run upside down if needed.

But on my plow Truck a well set up 4 barrel will Preform just as well as a 2BL just keep foot out till needed.

I will not be going back to the factory computer... I am likely going to pot that offy intake tiny holley 4brl they suggest and headers... Cam can wait...
That little one brl really sux alot more gas than I thought it could but am told that I will need much less throttle with the 4 and better intake thus actually see some improvement. Hopefully be able to finer tune the truck too...
