Re: [Chevelle-List] EFI on old motors
EFI in no way will put "undue stress" on the engine or make it run hotter but, it will make it run smoother & more efficently which tranlates into lower emissions and in most cases better MPG. The setup is costly and can be a hassle getting tuned in correctly but, you are rewarded with a very dependable, driveable and low maintence engine. >From: "Jason Boivin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [Chevelle-List] EFI on old motors >Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2003 00:32:27 -0500 > >Hey all, > >I have a friend that has an 80 Vette and he wants to add an after market EFI >on his motor. >His dad is trying to talk him out of it.

Re: [Chevelle-List] EFI on old motors
A Port type fuel injection system is a very nice setup if you can afford the time to set it up and tune it in as well as the cost. I have thought about it many times... especially as the price of big time racing carbs and dominators go up. FI will still be more, but the tuning you can do is incredible and on a street car it is just awsome in terms of reliability, drivabbility, and setting it/forgetting it.

Jason, I've had an Accel/DFI on my 396 for almost 3 years now with no problems, other than I think my fuel pump gave out last week.

[Chevelle-List] EFI on old motors
Hey all, I have a friend that has an 80 Vette and he wants to add an after market EFI on his motor. His dad is trying to talk him out of it. He says that the EFI will burn hotter and put undo stress on the motor. I think he is way off base here. But I thought I would ask the expert panel and see what you all think. I think he will be much happier with an EFI. And get even better performance out of it.
