That's simply not true. My buddy Marc runs the fastest hydraulic roller
cammed 5.0L-based Mustang in the country. It's fuel injected and last year
it made right at 550 HP at the rear wheels on the dynojet. Doesn't take
long at all to get it in tune with the wide band 02. I spent more time
doing this weekend tuning a 428CJ with carb in a Cobra replica. The wide
band 02 makes it so easy to tune it feels like cheating but it still took
4 hours to get it ready for the dyno.

In cases where a carb can pick up 100 HP in a Mustang, the guy did not have
the EFI system spec'd out properly. You have to run the proper manifold
runner length for the RPM range you're try to tune to and make sure the rest
of the bits can support the fuel and air flow.
