Tranlation bigger explostion and more power. No rocket sience here just plain good sence.

Gale, I'm not sure where you took IC engine 101 but you must have skipped class quite often. The logic that you are using here is the common misconception about what move a piston up and down. I think it is the expansion of an ignited AIR and fuel. The addition of excessive fuel does not make HORSEPOWER.

LS2 90 mm throttle body crate engine 364/400hp
LS2 with 750 Holley and GM intake crate engine 364/440hp

I asked NHRA if I could run this combo in ss/bs and was told no. The Gen lll LS series is superior for what's inside and not on top. Racing the LS series engines with a carburetor would be easier then with the fuel injection and less costly . The computers go bad all the time. Holley , F.A.S.T. and Big Stuff makes no difference.

Racing the LS1 for 4 years and counting .

Bo, sorry to hear about your computer problems. I've had 5 years with my FAST controller without a single issue.

Man, I've been getting a real education keeping up with this thread for the last couple of days. If you need a refresher course on grammar, spelling, linguistics, science, history, mathematics, and public relations you can find it all here!

If you guys really think FI is that easy, then I invite you to come tune with my factory PCM. It is a PITA at best.

Evan, check your PM.

Your all missing the point here............
The best thing about the fuel injection is that it is very economical (fuel efficient) when driving to the lanes and back to my pit spot after a run. I don't waste half the fuel I use to with the Q-jet combo. I'll bet I get 10 MPG's w/ it. Its especially nice when you have numerous rain delays and have to drive back and forth to the lanes 3 times for each run.

..not to mention that when I change my oil it doesn't smell like C-11.

I guess Gale did'nt think about the air that's required to mix with the fuel. I could put alcohol jets in my carb and it would probably slow down about 2 secon
