:D When i first bought my Rangie of DPG it was running on an EFI setup, power delivery was great and it was a little better on fuel. Shortly after DPG bought himself a V8 Disco which was running on carbs so we put the carbs on my Rangie and the EFI unit on his Disco ( part of the deal when i bought the rangie of him ). My Rangie runs fine on carbs but i have noticed a slight drop of power and a little bit of lag, wereas the EFI was more responsive.... To cut a long story short if i had the monet ide go back to EFI.  Hope this helps. I suspose its a personnel choice really.   :D

Is what you need :) especially with the ignition addon, stand some chance of a waterproof V8 then.
