firstly, my car did not have a feedback carb. It did have a 2bbl with some very rudimentary sensors attached to it. The car had the Lean Burn computer on it.Originally posted by: alfa147x

so i guess thats bad for performance ?
feedback carbs are horrible for performance. GM had a feedback quadrajet in the late 80's that was just awful.
It depends. Honda's feedback carbs weren't too bad IIRC. I mean, yes, they were a bit of a kludge, but not all of them were awful. They did all tend to be a nightmare when something went awry, but that's the case with anything that required so many vacuum lines to operate correctly.
