Drift Carb Vs TBI
Buying a L69 84 camaro w/ 5spd.
Was wondering if when im drifting if im going to get weak lag from the carb, like bad throttle response or if it is just a different engine config i'd have to get used to.
a few people have told me carb is better, and a few have told me it will cut out cause the gas will be sloshing around.
I can either put my holley 600cfm carb on it...
or our junkyard has a car with the TBI still that i can swap it too....
which would be better?
and how hard is it to swap to TBI?

"Drifting" with your Camaro (steering with the rear wheels) will impart a lot lower lateral G forces than the real IROC cars experienced by NOT slipping the rear wheels. They ran just fine with carburetors.
