I decided on an O-360 A1A, carb, not fuel injection, and a Catto two blade prop and have never regretted either decision Brett.  I can keep up with any RV6/6A or RV7/7A I have encountered so far and frequently do so with lower RPM, MAP and fuel burn.  Of course the constant speed guys out accelerate me on takeoff and initial climb but I always catch them within a couple of miles.  Sometimes I think I would like fuel injection so I could play around with LOP operation, but as it is I can easily cruise 160 knots at 8.0 to 8.5 gph so I can't really justify the additional cost and complexity.  My normal cross country cruise is at 150 knots at 7.0 to 7.5 gph when leaned about 50 degrees rich of peak. Just my $0.0005 worth.
