Autronic Systems

[James Ballenger]

	I dunno if I should share anything since we will be competing ;-).  I would
prefer not to publicly compare the Autronic and Electromotive directly,
sufficed to say they each have their strong points.  Our team also used to
run an Electromotive unit.  The Autronic SMC does seem to be comparable to a
Motec M48 which retails at $4000 or so, with good reason, for about $3000
less.  The autronic and Electromotive can both support a 5th injector in one
way or another and is completely dependant upon when and how long you want
to fire the injector.

	How did you guys get to 14.5:1, considering the exteremly tight valve
clearances?  Is yours a F,F2, F3, F4?
