Re: Dommination of FI cars.
I put together an LT-1 fuel injected Firebird and raced it for a little over a year. I built the engine myself with all very good parts. I never took the car or engine to a dyno session and tuned it myself on the racetrack learnig as I went along. I made some good runs but far from what the better cars can run. I ran a best of -.75 with the car 200lbs heavy for the class. Anyone who thinks a F.I. car is easy or will dominate is mistaken. Yes they are fast when they are working well but no faster or more consistant or predictable than some of the cars they will be lining up with in 2008. I sold my car in favor of something more "user friendly". Hopefully the new owner will do well with it and his first stop planned was a chassis dyno session with friends who are much more savy than me on the tuning of one of these cars.
