Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question

AndyF said
Yeah I agree. I've worked with dozens of customers over the last few years and they were all happy with the conversion. The guys who took the time to learn a little bit about the capability of their new EFI systems were super happy since it gave them control that they didn't have before. But even the turn key guys who weren't interested in the technical details were happy with the results. No more fuel smell in the garage, easier starting, no run on, longer life for spark plugs, better gas mileage, cold start and hot start improvement, etc.

My race customers like EFI since it makes the car more consistent and reduces maintenance. The oil stays clean, the plugs last longer, the data logger gives them info that they didn't have before, etc. Every race I go to there are guys asking questions about EFI. Most of them don't know that the Sniper has built in start retard, high speed retard, two step, rev limiter, nitrous control, boost control, data logging, etc. Once they learn about all of the features built in the light bulb comes on.

Yes, agree with all you have put there. In a slightly more complex system, even with a street car it can control your electric fans, run a shift light, allow you to run a coil near plug ignition system (you'll never touch a cap and rotor again), it will idle smoother at the same RPM. In the data logs I even have my vehicle speed, you could add a sensor to the front wheels and do traction control. No lift shift if you want. Rev limiting by fuel cut so you don't load up your cylinders and exhaust with fuel. One other thing it does is turn on the reverse lockout solenoid on my T56 Magnum automatically below 5mph where I set that. All for a $3 relay, the connector, and some wire instead of the $180 kit everyone else has to use. Let alone the widely known part about it fixing the fuel trim in real time with the O2 sensor. Overrun fuel cut is nice also.
