Skate And Destroy
Recently there seems to be a lot of questions regarding retrofit EFI conversions. I would like to suggest a dedicated forum for it.
Carburetors have been around for over 100 years but EFI is still a relatively new technology and the learning curve can be steep. Mopars in particular have some specific quirks that make EFI a little less straightforward than other makes. And beyond buying and installing the basic systems, conversions can snowball pretty quickly involving things beyond just the fuel delivery aspect that may not be obvious at first glance. There's also a lot of myths, misinformation and confusion about what it is, what it does and whether it's a good thing or not.
We have forums for things like 3D printing and model building but an EFI forum might prove beneficial for a larger portion of our members since these systems are generally considered with real-world performance and drivability concerns in mind. They're also expensive and time consuming to deal with and having a dedicated forum would make it easier to find specific information rather than searching through other forums.
EFI is also not for everyone so it may dissuade someone from making the wrong choice. Again, there seems to be a lot of mistrust of software driven tuning devices so it may help some people understand what they need to consider before making the switch or not.
I will offer to write up a detailed primer on it to get the ball rolling. I've installed a few Holley EFI systems successfully and I know my way around them pretty well.
Discuss.
