Electronic fuel injection is complicated. Therefore, case studies are needed to get past the assorted hurdles, physical and psychological. Car magazines have been supplying such stories for quite a few years for hot rod engines. Hopefully, some interested people can supply useful references for us 4-banger fans. Naysayers (aka traditionalists) will tell us their feelings loudly, but I think this thread is long overdue and now quite valid given Terry Burtz's engine foundation and its many adopters. My Burtz engine loves to rev with its modest 6:1 Snyder's head, dual #81 Strombergs, tubular exhaust header, and Honda distributor. As Steve Serr and others can attest from dyno testing, getting air/fuel ratios consistent across cylinders and engine operating conditions is challenging with carbs. Maybe it would be easier with electronic fuel injection.
