Details

So you've decided that fuel injection is for you, but want to know more. Many questions surround what appears to many as more of a black art than science. Engine tuning used to be the hallowed ground of vehicle engineers and cutting-edge hot rodders. For years, the carburetor filled the needs of enthusiasts and provided simple adjustments at the end of a flat-bladed screwdriver. But today, electronic controls for engines are the norm. Even the casual enthusiast who actually drives his favorite hot rod on the streets can easily see the benefit of increased precision when he fires the car up for the first time each spring. A properly tuned EFI system rarely needs anything more than the turn of the key to come to life.
Following up his best-selling title, Engine Management: Advanced Tuning, author Greg Banish goes in-depth on the combustion basics of fuel injection as well as benefits and limitations of standalone. Learn useful formulas, VE equation and airflow estimation, and more. Also covered are setups and calibration, creating VE tables, creating timing maps, auxiliary output controls, start to finish calibration examples with screen shots to document the process. Useful appendixes include glossary and a special resources guide with standalone manufacturers and test equipment manufacturers.
Aftermarket standalone systems are a great way to dial in performance and reliability. Designing and Tuning High-Performance Fuel-Injection Systems is the book you need to become an expert in this popular modification.

Missing TBI Fuel Injection Review by Jay

Good book for high price stand alone fuel injection systems. Discusses them in great detail.

I was disappointed that there was no mention of earlier TBI fuel injection systems. These too have great reliability and precision well beyond what carbs can do. They also auto correct for the environment and are far cheaper to retrofit on earlier, non fuel injected engines. (Posted on 3/19/13)

Sekolatika Review by Sekolatika

To gain a huge increase in power go with A full suxahet overhaul. Start with full length header and put 2.5 -3 inch pipes on. High flow cat and high flow mufflers(if you need it to be legal, otherwise straight pipes) worth somewhere around 15-20% more powerK N air intake kit. -10% more power right off the bat. super easy mod and relatively cheapCOMP Cams Xtreme Energy 4 4 Cam and Lifter Kit.-MASSIVE increase in power and torque! requires pretty good mechanical knowledge but well worth it! come with everything you need.VENOM 400 Performance Control Module. -This engine CPU is worth about 25% more power. has an on and off switch for MPG and economy when not racing.Taylor ThunderVolt 8.2 Spark Plug Wires and e3 diamond fire plugs. -less resistant wires will give you even more powerFlex-a-lite Direct Fit Electric Fan-when yor engine doesn't have to work to turn a fan it gives you more usable power and torque.
