Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question

Aesop's fables are fun to read, just saying. Anyone could build a 700 rwhp turbo LS car today that's reliable. The EFI allows it. You'll never swap your rear end gear with a 6-speed manual or an 8 speed auto because you don't need to. You review data and tune in a parking lot or in your living room at night. If you need help, you can send a trace and the tune to a second set of eyes in a different state to look at it in seconds.

You do realize that EFI was integrated in new cars primarily for emissions and economy, right?
The big car companies have a LOT more money to support the development of their systems and they are required by Federal law to warranty the emission systems for 5 years. NO aftermarket EFI company is under that obligation so their kits are far simpler and less reliable.

I'm using 90s GM car sensors since they are the most easily adaptable. Given that a lot of these parts had 20 year runs they are well understood. My fuel injectors are made by Bosch, an OE supplier.

Circuit boards are pretty simple to manufacture and populate.

The only beef I have is that the FiTech controllers use basically stereo headphone jack connectors which really isn't a good choice for automotive applications. If you want that style EFI, get the Holley Sniper.

Most people have problems with these kits because of their fuel systems, or poor wiring.
