What OEM Carb based ICE achieves higher AFRs than the 25.8 : 1 that some OEM EFI ICEs have been tested to be able to achieve?

What I've read EFI systems have superior higher LB AFR benefits potential to Carb based systems... thus ... from what I've read ... it is the opposite of what you are claiming... and it is Carb systems that suffer with lower AFRs.
