Old Man with a Hat
Generally agree for a street machine but if you're a weekend warrior at the track they are a must. Also some of us got into the hobby late and will continue to learn until the day we die. That's what I love about Eddy carbs you don't need to be an engineer to figure them out if you have an owners manual. They make it so simple to tune.Here's my take on the whole situation. 90% of the Yahoos that just HAVE to have headers can't even disassemble a carb and know how to jet it.
So spare me the bling, guys. Show me you know how to tune an engine instead of throwing a Jeg's catalog at it.
