Carbs are worth atleast 20hp just as a bolt on,, cant beat that with any single EFI bolt on.

Myself, If I were you..I'd go with the efi setup. Easier to keep tuned, better cold weather starts, etc etc.

plus, it's a  sight harder to have forced induction on a carb engine, and keep it tuned.
Not a lot of work to drop in the efi 5.0 and the required wiring to run it.
Hell, people put 'em in cars that came out before a 302 was anything more than a number between 301 and 303. :D

i was comparing the NEW BOSS vs why they went with carb today instead of EFI,,, anyone wonder why they did that?  Prob because its easier to make hp with a carb and lots of it.  Its 2007 and the new boss has a carb,,hummffff,,, go figure.

foose put one in a 69 mach back earlier this year.  Im surprised no one remembers that.

windsor style heads????? boo hoo!!!! where is the boss relation other than the 4 bolt main block. the real boss then and now is the boss 351! the streets were pretty mean back in the muscle era.if you drove a boss 302 back then you were probably pretty low on the food chain. any z28 or 340 powered car would make your night miserable. if you drove a boss 429 you probably felt safe and smug until you stopped at that light. that big ugly road runner with the flat black hood and scoop with 440 something on it suddenly made you sweat. you decide to show him whose boss. green . you sidestep the clutch and floor that big shotgun,blue cresent hemi only to watch those sqare tail lights moving away. your first thought is how those guys at mopar are so generous with their wheelwells. those boots are big. so was the one you just got in the ass! youre a cat motoring along in your boss 351 when some bowtie hero in his new generation 70 and one half z28 starts stalking you. you stop at that same light which has been so cruel to you.you look over and its the same dude that dusted you off in his 302 z. now hes got a new version and so do you.payback time,you hope. green, you ease the clutch and stomp. he pulls on you at first,then those big canted valves do their thing. a few pulls of the flawless shifter and that chevy gets small through that flatback window. now to find that mopar!

you cant guess power,, time to accept that.  it has to be measured while your building the engine with liquid and various measurements using a dial indicator, caliper with depth guage, ect.

or,,

dyno machine which uses a strain guage.
