Thank you for your opion and any personal experience with the change.
I've made switch from rupert alky carb to toilet and gained 2 tenths, on a 5.30 dragster to 5.10. I've also made the switch back with same setup to a apd alky carb and lost only a tenth.

There is a lot of upside to both, injection is easy, fast and predictable. The downside is starting up without a primer system.

Carb upside easy start up, warms up faster with a leanout. Down side is they still do move around in big air jumps unlike injection.
