Should I Convert To Fuel Injection?

I was looking at the Holley website and they have a electronic fuel injection converter for cars with carburetors, and I was thinking about getting one for my '77 Cutlass Supreme 350 4brl. What do you guys think? should I keep the carb I have or convert it to fuel injection? They claim that Fuel injection gives it increased horsepower.

Mehhh, I think it might be overstated unless there are lots of other improvements to engine design, fuel injection alone may not be worth it. Look at how much they want and how much improvement they advertise. Then compare that to what could be done with a carburetor and an engine build up. How much money is it?

313 bucks. I think I will just stick with my Quadrajet, either rebuild it or go for an edelbrock. I tend to find that Holley carbs require more tweeking and maintainence. Or at least thats what I think.

FWIW I would be looking at ebay first or tweaking the qjet .A knowledgable friend of mine ,like many others on here no doubt, swears by qjet and rates holley as an expensive option for those those who don`t know how to properly tune qjets --he roams around his shop mumbling "primary,secondary,vacuum "--yeah mad but knows how to get em going.
