New affordable Fuel Injection

its not the cost of the EFI system for me. its the added cost of the rest of the fuel system to make it right thats held me back so far. once done with the engine swap i'll probably start saving to do the fuel system in preparation of EFI. once i get that stuff i'll save for a system i like at the time.

MPG payback will take forever. doubt many will ever see that over the life of their cars. power increase? only if your carb/carbs are way out of tune. improved starting and drive ability are a very nice plus. i'm sure improved MPG will help at the time of your road trips too...

i don't care how good you are (or think you are) with a carb. the best a carb can do is be adequate. tune it at 7am and by 3pm its out because of the weather changing. the next day its 10* cooler and less humid and that carb is no longer perfect like the EFI. now will it run like ****? no but its no longer perfectly tuned like an EFI system will be. drive that ***** into different altitudes and that carb is no longer perfectly tuned like that EFI is.. now for someone that gets in there car and just drives to 5 miles to the local cruise night it probably doesn't matter too much. to those who like to drive the hell out of their cars in all differen't conditions it may matter a lot more.

my biggest fear with EFI is if something happens to the ECU hours from home. not getting one of those at the local parts store. a sensor no big deal since most use common off the shelf parts..
