TBI for Buick V6 ODD-FIRE

[CSH-HQ]

No, no, no, no, and no.

The Busch guys found no difference in crank strenght.
The Indy crowd also used them.

If you look at the original post he wanted to use a gm TBI which alternately 
fires each injector on each ignition pulse, if you give up the ignition 
advantage, there is very little to be gained, and with the injectors firing 
being off I'm sure you'd get some wrong cyl sel codes, and such, again be 
easier to change to any even fire, and then start it.
  Last last sentence makes no sense to me.

  John Thawley had published a book with all the old v-6 buick stuff in if 
you like reading the ins and outs of odd fires.
