Derrick (Early),
I have been receiving Hot Rod for a few years now and found that
article interesting. I truly believe they were mostly interested in
quarter mile et's. While a carbuerator is considerably cheaper and
very effective at the Drags, the versitility and efficiency of the EFI
(particularly TPI) is unparalled. I have the '63 Chevy on the DYI_EFI
web site. It is carbuerated (because of cost) but eventually I will
install a late model TPI unit for better gas mileage and consistent
performance. Having a fast V-8 is AWESOME but when your filling that
tank with 93 octane (10.5:1 compression) you want every drop used as
efficiently as possible. Hot Rod also had special on aftermarket EFI
units in the April '94 edition. So, if your drag racing the expense
of fuel injection is a bit extravagant but for every day cruisability
fuel injection is worth the initial investment.
MTaylor,
I subscribe to PHR, Car Craft and Hot Rod. Hot Rod has stated the
reason for their Chevy bias: a majority of street rodders drive
Chevys. I love them all! I have a Ford Pickup and find it far
superior to Chevrolets offerings. The basics are the same no matter
what badge your vehicle wears.
Has anyone out there retrofitted TPI for early model vehicles? Any
info would be appreciated.
