I think the major difference between a Hilborn and a carb is the modern carb
(not a 97) automatically adjusts for changes in air density (within limits)
and the Hilborn relies on you to change the pill.  If you get the pill
wrong, the carb out-powers the Hilborn.  EFI is one step better, it
automatically adjusts everything.  CFM aside, Hilborn trumps carb and EFI
trumps Hilborn just because of the fineness of the spray(liquid fuel does
not burn, only vapor). Having done it, I have to say that tuning an engine
equipped with 97's was the biggest challenge, but I like my Holly 750.
