If you're going to buy actual car parts and not a toolbox from Summit Racing, I strongly suggest you find someone like Nick to talk to before you make your purchase. Summit Racing their tech line in particular is a waste of time. You could wind up with parts that will be problematic for your build and you get to pay for the return shipping that is if you catch the mistake before you install it. Just a word to the wise especially now that everything cost twice what it was a year ago. I don't want to see anybody get hurt like I did. Summit will not treat you fairly!

It is amazing just how well a carburetor can work through all the rpm range considering what’s happening, idle circuits, primaries, secondaries, high speed enrichment and all using vacuum as a trigger. I think most of us appreciate EFI when we go out and start the car on a cold winter day, but after spending about 6 months trying to diagnose and fix my EFI engine with an intermittent idle problem, an old Carter AFB is looking pretty good about now.

I had a car with a small block that needed to be ultra reliable, because it was literally a work car. I originally had a Quadrajet on it, and had that tuned so perfectly that I just needed to tap the pedal to set the choke, and she would fire up a lot faster than injection. When I went to a Carter, same thing.

@@artcampbell5315 There is a lot of development over many years. Idle circuit, progression, main circuit, fuel enrichment with power valves, accelerator pump circuit, and of course air jets and choke. In the Quadrajet four carbs in one with two primaries and two vacuum operated secondaries. I Worked in shop for years and very very few knew how they worked. Their fix for a carb, take the screws out and bend the floats arms by putting down the body on the bench instantly causing another problem, blowing out the main jets with air line and put it back together, crank with IGN enabled and as soon as fuel gets into bowls to a certain level the engine fires lean and backfires, as the choke is on the backfire blows the power valves diaphragms and now we a leaking in fuel into airstream. Now carb is well messed up. So their fix was the simple carb is screwed buy a new one, do not forget to prime the float bowls fully. Similar with Rochester although secondaries are all controlled by a small spring that goes weak over time. Leads to flat spot as secondaries open to early leading to less suction through primaries and loss of fuel pickup, if you know about the spring and it’s adjustment then an easy fix. Carburettors on a lawnmower maybe simple but unless your a specialist a Quadrajet is not simple. What is simple is EFI electric fuel pump provides pressure to the jets. Solenoids control the jets. Inlet manifold suction controls fuel pressure to compensate for changes in manifold vacuum, a speed signal from distributor a MAP sensor on Inlet a temp sensor on inlet, engine temp signal, a throttle position sensor, knock sensors and oxygen sensors. Maybe even wide band Oxygen sensors. All those bits just bolt on and are wired up, fuelling is controlled by ECU and easy to adjust with the push of some buttons. It’s all so simple😉😀

You have to love the small block Chevy engines. They’re definitely time tested, and pass them all. But, I’m still a Mopar lover at heart
The best thing about fuel injection is that it can adjust for different altitudes, whereas a carb can not. With fuel injection you could go from sea level to 7000 feet up in the mountains with virtually the same performance, and in Southern California you could easily go from the sea to mountains within a few hours time.

also for diff temp's as well. you need more fuel when its 20 out then you need when its say 90 since the air is a bit thinner. at 7000ft no matter what you are losing power but your not running engine at 10:1 air fuel ratio when up there as a carb would be.

OMG, welcome to Nick's Garage 2.0! Christmas came early this year and the big man delivered something we never thought possible. This is the difference between Hollywood and KZread: in Hollywood all the best shows that find perfection also reach a peak where viewers can see the inevitable ending coming because you cannot make perfection more perfect(and you viewers cannot watch the same perfection being achieved over and over for very many years beyond a decade), but in KZread all the best shows that find perfection that reach their peak have the opportunity to remake themselves and they do so through collaboration with other shows. It is not collaboration within the show that makes the difference, it is the collaboration with other shows that allows the producers and hosts to bring in new content without losing the viewers and their memory of what makes the perfect Nick's Garage episode. Just when viewers were hoping to get a little bit more from Nick before his retirement, you really came through for us, because the big man himself is delivering the creativity in Nick Panaritis that this show needs to continue into muscle car infinity and beyond!

A little more power with the EFI. Keep in mind; You tune a carb on a beautiful sunny day at 30.25” of Mercury, then, the next day, it’s rainy, humid with a storm approaching at 29.15” of Mercury, and yesterday’s tune is yesterday’s news. Not to mention my comment about altitude. Drive that 428 hp. car out to British Columbia, and it will be lucky to climb a grade without fouling your plugs, or overheating. That EFI has air density compensation.

Nick has lived and breathed engines and combustion for decades. We are so glad he shares his know-how with us.
I was on board with GM when EFI was released, but was trained in carbs by some of the smartest guys in my hometown. Whether a Weber, Quad, Holley, down draft, all the way to Tillotsons on boats, Keihin on bikes, even weed whackers and chainsaws, if you have a good ear and sense of feel, you can make a motor purr at idle and sing at WOT. Nick and Pat, thank you for a great time watching two intelligent induction enthusiasts do what they love: Make an engine sing like Chris Cornell and Julie Andrews.
Nick, I once tried to take my AAR into the Rockies in Colorado, but had to drive 100 miles back to Colorado Springs to try and find jets and secondary fuel plates and rip apart my sixbarrel setup just to survive the altitude. Fuel injection would have saved me jets, gaskets, and carb plates not to mention nearly a day’s vCation. Think of that if you’re ever in BC!
This is one of the best tuner review videos I have ever seen.. Very well done Thanks Nick and Pat and crew!!
I love it when pros show they are human and run into bugs and mistakes too !!
Really enjoyed this one - Thank you Nick and Pat
Thank you guys! The one other advantage of EFI I kept thinking about is daily climate changes and or altitude.
What a great motor with great horsepower and torque numbers. Nobody else's Dyno room sounds as good as Nick's. Great job guys. Really enjoyed this one. Take care all. Cheers
Viewers pay attention. Both of these gentlemen are very good at what they do. It's still taking eight pulls to dial that EFI in and that's without ignition. The self learning claims aren't true. It takes a lot just to get the car running. My experience says you need to find someone with a wheel Dyno and the experience to make the necessary adjustments to optimize running conditions with EFI. You WONT do it at home.

Believe it or not, I find it easier to get the fuel maps dialed in with these system installed in cars rather than on a engine dyno. Usually I street tune them to get the fuel map dialed in close then they go on a wheel dyno for power and final tweaks. I use the laptop and speed up the process with manual adjustments like I did at Nicks. I also do alot of carb tuning and actually do the same sort of thing, in some cases install a wideband in the exhaust for street tuning. Both systems take a certain type of knowledge and skill but it really just boils down to preference in my opinion.
I use a Holley 950 UXP on most of the engines I run and as a jetting verification I have a set of high speed bleeds (4 brass jets next to the bowl vents looking down on the carb) that's .005" larger and a set .005" smaller than the factory bleeds (.032" is stock on the 950) and it's an extremely quick changeover without spilling fuel. 3 pulls, overlay the graphs, and you'll instantly see what the engine wants.
This is the cross over i've been waiting for!
Two dudes with same frequency, and this is it

I love that Nick and the other guy didn't focus on the EFI as the problem.... its a common problem to get tunnel vision on a new system and not look at all causes....
Nick, Pat and George, Awesome job on this video. Fantastic comparison between carb and EFI.
Great test as it’s showing a direct comparison between the carb and the efi throttle body, no other differences. Great to see the Carb guy and the EFI guy working together to get the max out of both setups. 👍😁
Keep in mind that the other advantage is altitude performance along with boosted applications. MOST importantly, the timing control with the EFI distributor is a huge plus. It should've also been mentioned that the AFR on his laptop wasn't accurate which really made it hard for the man to tune. All in all, EFI is superior. Nice carbs aren't cheap anyway.
Definitely the greatest comparison I've seen ever. Closest to even between the 2.
The Holley Throttle body EFI is great. Not just about peak HP/Torque but cold start first crank and warm up and smooth driveability. You can leave car parked for months and it will start first crank with the EFI.

@UCDhJYUerKf6PqcKX4hFe18Q If you run a electric fuel pump to fill the float bowls of the carburetor if the choke is set correctly and it's jetted right it will start up with one pump . My 440 with a Edelbrock 750 performer rpm intake Dyno tuned and jetted for my engine with a 509 purple shaft and headers can sit for a month and as long as I turn the Holley blue pump on first then pump it once it fires right up every time so yes it can be done. Not so easy with a mechanical pump if it sits and drains back and the float bowls get dried up because the engine has to crank over enough times for the mechanical fuel pump to pull fuel and then fill the float bowls again . On my 82 Chevrolet K10 which is my plow truck with a stock 400 SBC that I put in the truck that I replaced the old worm out Q jet with a spacer to put a Edelbrock 600 with a electric choke on if it sits more than a week it has to crank over some while pumping before the float bowls fill back up before it fire up and stays running so there is an advantage of having the electric fuel pump to pre prime the carburetor and make cold starts easier in cold weather verses a mechanical pump . I could put a electric fuel pump on tne truck but it's my plow truck to plow my driveway with plus the pump works good other than if it sits for a while the fuel drains back and the float bowls dry up and it needs to crank a little before they fill up enough to get a accelerator pump shot to prime the carburetor some so it starts which works fine but it's just slower than a electric fuel pump is . I drive the truck in the spring and summer to the car club I belong to just to drive it at times and it runs good and doesn't starve for fuel at WOT when I get on it hard once in a while to clean it out and the pump works good being it's been on this engine that was in a 78 K5 blazer back in 2006 until I had to pull the engine and drive train out of it because the body was toast and I bought the 82 that just needed a engine and swapped the plow over and kept the extra parts for spares for the 82 .
I especially like the shot where carb was beside the efi revving up! So Cool to watch! Awesome Video not easy to make I bet!
