People dropping FI setups like hot potatoes

What are you hearing is the failure point on these units? The one thing that I have read is that the ECU's fail from heat since they are built right into the throttle bodies. I just wanted to see if you where hearing of anything else. I have been looking into the Holley Terminator, since the ECU is firewall mounted, be laptop tuned, and if I understand correctly, can be adapted to MPI if you want it in the future.

On another note, my main gripe with the current MPI units is the insistence to use a single plane manifold. They do it out of ease, not because it works better for a street engine in particular. Granted they still have good throttle response, but do give up low end torque. If you look at the OE manifolds, they are designed with long runner.


If done correctly, the single plane intake will out power a dual plane intake every single time.

Even a cursory study of air flow would teach anyone that putting a corner in a moving column of air is bad. Now add fuel to that column of air, and it's 10 times worse.

You have to build around the intake. A dual plane intake is worthless. It doesn't do anything better.
