Default EFI verses carberated.

I was wondering the pros and cons for both. I know the benifits from the efi but are there any cons about them?

EFI;
no choke
easy starting
better power
no tuning for alt or temp
runs at high angles

Bad EFI;
mods cost $$$

Chris listed everything I can think of. Parkerman, since I noticed you live in Wisconsin, altitude isn't much of a problem. But the advantages of the EFI in your cold weather will help. Here in New Mexico, we get cold somewhat during winter, but the altitude I ride at is from 4500-13000 feet, the EFI is a big advantage....

Now to make all you northerners feel bad, we had a high of 75 degrees here in town yesterday....lol...
