Look at the dyno runs....the carbed LS, will give up some of the magic /vs the fuelie.....but every dyno run that I have seen, will pull more top power with the carb  I dont usually get involved , in the carb /vs fuelie, the fuelie guys dont like that carb on that LS mill! The LS is one tough engine....mine has 140,000 on the bottom/ fresh top (just a surface & grind & a set of springs). No cats, dual/H pipe, & will scoot my old 4200 lb truck around on the pavement, about like that old gen I stroker did! Longhorn
