The EFI myth

I will say this, the fi tech systems don't impress me. I regard them as most of the drawbacks of the carb, most of the drawbacks of the EFI, and none of the exclusive benefits of either one.

This is mostly due to the wet manifold.

The fi tech systems do deal with the vapor lock issues though

Unless using the cheapest version, they come with ignition and timing control with a level of sophistication not found with a distributor type system. I wish it had even more settings/control, but it's still leaps and bounds beyond changing springs and bushings and stuff.

TBI does have the same wet manifold drawbacks, but that's kind of also a benefit. Some folks want the old-school look under the hood vs the most practical design possible. Which is kind of my over-arching take on EFI vs other systems: which one is 'best' depends on a lot of things.
