Not Ranked
Well, just because it's a pollution control device as well does not make it a bad thing automatically. Fuel injection systems are considered part of your vehicle's pollution system and they provide a huge improvement in power and economy.
I never take example of what racers do as gospel for a street car. Your better served looking a what Detroit did and ask yourself if the mod is really an improvement. (I've seen plenty of "preformance parts" that were inferior or no better that the OEM part it replaced)
Not to mention racers have a very different disipline "light as possible, ounces matter, will it make it through the race, don't care what it costs". The NASCAR crews build for a 700mi. engine life, Top fuel about 20mi. I'm looking for a little better reliability myself.
Blowback is always there, worse on 10:1 compression than say 8.5. Same arguement could be used for running an air cleaner as well I guess...
EGR, well that was another story...
