vs commodore
What the?? The computer does not ever need to be re tuned unless you are doing engine mods etc. Whoever has told you this is not very bright, and you really should take it to someone else . Fitting a carby to an EFI engine is illegal if you want to register the car, this is because the carby will cause the engine to emit way more emmissions than the EFI setup.

Personally I would get a second opinion , because a carburettor on a EFI engine , apart from being illegal as previously mentioned would be more trouble than it is worth . Whoever gave you that advice , ain't the sharpest tack in the box

I spent the first 34 years driving cars with carburettors, and compared with EFI that is running properly, there just is no comparison. Except for accurate restorations, carbs belong in the dustbin of history.
