Yes efi is the best way to go, but in Aus in at around 600 for the squirt, I've reached the limit for cost, a line has to be drawn somewhere. The next build (not sure what it will be)will have a squirt. The carbs will still make power, there is a disadvantage in physicly changing jets etc but there both just metering fuel. The major plus for carbs is the cost reduction and simplification of a turbo install. Pros and cons, fact is I want to wind this up and spend my cash on a new project. For perspective, used pregen around 800 bucks, new gen 2000 bucks new 300 is bout 5600. I just can't spend anymore money on what's really a toy, it may be a quick 250 but as sport bikes go its not that quick. I could buy a used 600 or liter bike for 3000. If someone wanted to donate a squirt..................
