The reason Greg Anderson and Jason Line figured it out way ahead of the rest of the Pro Stock racers was the design of the intake runners. Like it was mentioned before if two four barrel throttle bodies were on top everyone would have been running real close from the get go. When they first ran fuel injection at the Winternationals, I noticed that the runners were covered up and the rules originally prohibited that. Chris McGaha tole me that the Summit guys told NHRA that they would load up their stuff before they would show what they had spent hundreds of hours researching with Hogan manifolds.
The other great asset they have is Bo Butner. He has a lot of experience with computer controlled fuel injection. This combination caused fits to the other racers although now most have them have pretty well caught up, especially the Grays. The first time I saw pictures of what they were going to have to use, I knew it would take some time to figure out how to evenly distribute the air to all the cylinders at the high RPM and extreme cam timing and compression these engines have. It works fine on a Mustang and a Camero but Pro Stock is a whole new animal. At Pomona this year Chris McGaha said he still was having trouble with cylinder 8 getting it even with the other 7.
