As a side topic...Why did you choose it, instead of the new fangled & better EFI?!?!?

I did not think it was.

2006...the last year of the carb...maybe for the better...maybe not?!?!?

I KNOW how to work on carb's and don't have to buy SERTS or PCIII's or any of the other $400 to $500 programmers to be able to tune my motor. I personally didn't see any advantage to F.I. over something I could easily work on AND tune without trying to find that one tuner who could tune (correctly) myfuel injection. my .02

Sorta the same. I know how to work on Carbs...My buddy with his FI RK is always telling me how FI is better. No choke/enricher and such. WoW how hard to pull a ****. Wait until he has non-warrantee work on his system. I rejetted my CV in about 30 minutes and $10. Do that at home with FI.
