Why hasn't someone tried to redesign the cdale fuel injection system? Also the fuel pump on the cdale is huge, its for a compact truck motor. Look at a new fuel injection system on a snowmobile, the fuel pump is small and light. Efficient. The injectors, wires and harness, not much to it. Someone should try to adapt one of these more advanced systems. Any ideas. Is it possible to direct inject to the valves and head. Common Jwheat you should beable to figure this out.
If the carb produces more HP prove it. And also show how you had identical air flow to the current setup for a fair comparison.
And for your rant about the fuel pumps, now you are knocking us for not changing fuel pumps? Ever heard the expression, if it ain't broke don't fix it? What is wrong with the current fuel pump other than it being large and cumbersome? And what do you mean direct inject into the valves and head? What the heck is it doing? Last I checked it sprays down towards the injectors when they are opening up. Is this not what you are talking about?
I do like the way the arguement went from spitting out facts on our outdated system to CARB BETTER, YOUR EFI SUCKS. Come on man, throw out some real reasons or flaws instead of "they did it better" or "your fuel pump is too big".
