datsun 510 guys do it on KA. check out my avatar. That's a 4age with ITBs.

I'm putting bike throttles on mine. It's more about response than adding HP.

Here's a bigger pic:

Well, first and foremost you'll need to have a MAP sensored setup.

-SCCA race cars use ka24e carburated setup. Not individual throttles.

Carbeuration is a lot easier to troubleshoot than EFI - just take it apart and put it back together and you'll be fine.

Carb's also often don't need the same amount of pressure in the lines that EFI does.

That statement is so brod and false that it isnt even funny.
Carbs are more "known" thats why some people think it eaiser to work on than EFI. Me personaly I think FI is better in every way to carbs(save for price but that can also be debated) and is eaiser to work on and tune..but then again i have more expearance with FI than carbs. Yes i have had my fair share of time with carbs cars in my V8/Drag racing days...
It is true that FI runs higher fule pressure but that is how it works..it uses the high pressure to atamise the fule , while squirting it out the injector.
so dont think carbs are better...there not..because they can only be tuned to a very fine RPM/Power band...not the hole rev/driving range of the motor like FI can...
