Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question

This ain't 1970..... Wish it was but here we are. There is the YR group that will carry a Carburetor to the grave and good for them. Alot of business to be had out there as alot are in use. And I will say that I had around 1990 a Carburetor that was built from someone who helped put a well known Carburetor company on the map (many of you have them) and it was money. Start dead cold and idle. It did everything right. He has passed and so has carburetors for the next generation of Car enthusiast. You can't stop it or discount FI. It's just a culture change.

Something else about FI is ethanol fuel. It sucks and since we are talking about street application specifically this is huge. Any FI I have dealt with have a return line to the tank. Bye bye Vapor lock... Sure you can put a return line on something not EFI but far and wide that ain't gonna happen. Correct fuel system, proper wiring, and some knowledge will just outperform a Carburetor for street applications. But to each his own and that's what makes the world unique. Everyone is different.....

Dude, you are so wrong about me it’s ridiculous. I’ve been running ethanol fuel since it was stuffed down our throats. I’ve spent more time tuning NA and some blown alcohol **** than I care to think about. If you have vapor lock and think it’s ethanol you’d be wrong. BTW, I was running a return line in 1984. Long before any of these other posers jumped on that bandwagon.

There isn’t enough ethanol content even at a full 10%, or even at 50% to cause vapor lock. It’s the pump fuel that does it. It’s the blend of pump fuel.


Just damn. EFI has saved the world.
