bout a webber carb for my dads kit car when we had it. much better over the standard carb but injection is much better. With carbs the fuel vapour is drawn in with the air current rather than being pumped directly into the cylinders

Carbs are prehistoric mechanical things which are less reliable, require more servicing and don't give any more power than the modern equivalent - the fuel injected throttle body. Electronic fuel injection gives you the ability to give the engine exactly the right amount of fuel throughout the rev range, this can't be done with carbs. Carbs can give the same peak bhp figures as fuel injected cars but they can't match EFI through the rest of the rev range.

Banger racers don't use twin carbs. They use a single downdraught carb.

Just to clarify something. A single carb is comparable to a single point injection throttle body. Twin sidedraught carbs are comparable to independent throttle bodies.
