Carb to EFI

[Dimis]

Unless you plan on logging tens of thousands of miles per annum.
You'll see more pain than gain with any Efi system. Imho.

Even IF your mpg shows marginal improvement, you're upto $10k behind to start with. Im pretty sure one can invest $10k to cover the mpg loss elsewhere and not suffer the pain lol.

Further having investigated them at infinitum, those hand held carbed ezy-Efi gizmos just can't be made to work anywhere near as well as advertised. I contest any claims to the contrary (till I see with my own eyes). I've just seem so many that don't work, either at all, or so poorly that a bad carb would be better.

Efi is great for your daily driver, else not so much for your part time drive.


Good luck with it.

Interesting, yet the ones I have seen work quite flawlessly. The LS1 site I frequent has literally hundreds of people putting various types of aftermarket EFI units on their cars and usually the problems are self induced.

I also do not see any of them running $10k unless you go with some type of stack injection.

No offense, but your argument sounds like the same one horse and buggy owners used when cars first came out.

I would consider Holley Terminaor

My only point was that, with a big cam, you can't get a good sensor reading at lower RPM and the system won't work in closed loop mode. If I had a smaller cam/hydraulic set up, I'd strongly consider a throttle body EFI system. Not against them at all.
