I tried the FiTech for a couple months, ended up switching back to Holley 750. It takes a while for the fitech to learn fuel trims for your application , during that time your motor will run like crap. Also , it's a road-race car and even after it was calibrated , it struggled to transition smoothly from heavy decel (lean) to on-throttle (rich) without stumbling for a few seconds each time. It's probably possible to tune-out that stuff eventually but you'd really have to dig deep into their controller software, which has no fuel map, only afr targets.

You are exactly right. The FiTech system is a low budget, entry level fuel injection system. If you have an application that requires fine tuning, we recommend going to the Holley Terminator system.

As noted, this dyno run was done solely at WOT, so a std mechanical distributor advance is sufficient. But the other big benefit to an ECU controlling an engine lies with ign timing at part throttle, in real driving conditions. The max torque/hp from a dyno tells only part of the story - a well-sorted EFI system with ECU'd ignition will have more hp and torque *everywhere* - more area under the curve. As an example - when the coolant temp and ambient is cold, any engine is going to respond noticeably to 5-10° more ignition timing, and an ECU will do that gradually, seamlessly, throughout the temperature range.
@ThePaulv126 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure about that. I'm splitting hairs to be sure, but carbs generally make more power because each individual venturi is load sensing whereas in a TBI setup fuel pressure and injector pulswidth modulation control the injectors so there's no individual sensing in each barrel. Of course the benefits of slightly lower power of the TBI vastly outweigh almost every other aspect of a carb. But if you're drag racing you may well be better off with a carb.

Just to note, if you have a beautiful engine like that you would think to have the carburetor set up correctly. You could hear the squirters needed to be upped a size or two, perhaps the accelerator pump as well. That is the beauty of carbs. Set up it would, at the very least, equal the injection if horsepower was your goal. But, when it comes to "set it and forget it" fuel injection is a godsend. BTW: How did you pick the CFM size carb for this engine? There is a mathematical formula that will pinpoint the correct size.

See, that’s the problem with all these carb to TBI FI comparisons, no one does it properly. The carb is tuned and the efi isn’t given a chance to learn or the carb is box stock but the efi is tuned. This is too biased and too simple. Does the average carb user just slap it on and call it good? I’m a beginner with carbs still but I haven’t left mine alone. I bought books and a wideband to help me learn about and get it right. Also one hp/tq number at a single rpm is too simplistic. The guys who are REALLY interested in this comparison will want to know more like all plots across the entire driving range and air fuel ratio control as well as mods done to the carb to achieve that performance. That’s where you can keep the carb tuning to the average user, jet changes, idle mixtures, power valve, secondary opening rate, squirter cam, etc. Maybe even some of the slightly more tunable restrictors available in the aftermarket billet metering blocks that are so prevalent now. That wouldn’t be a 3 minute video but give real hotrodders some credit. We’re not all like the modern muscle crowd of bolt it on and go.

@nineball26 how many people drive between 13,000' and sea level on a regular basis? Many of the benefits of EFI are overhyped. I grew up before EFI existed, cars got around just fine as seasons changed. Frankly, other than starting on really cold mornings I don't think EFI has any real advantage. A properly tuned carburetor can easily accommodate changes in weather and altitude well enough for the vast majority of people. And it will make just as much power. EFI is just an emissions tool and a way to drive more business to the dealerships with "check engine" lights and bunches of new parts that can break.

But remember, just because a bigger carb worked on one engine combination doesn't mean a larger carb will do the same on every combination. As others have pointed out in the comments, the goal isn't necessarily peak numbers, but area under the curve. For a street engine, the RPM range (curve area) is much wider than a track engine. So a few horsepower gain at the top isn't worth a sacrifice of horsepower in the majority of the curve area. However, if a track engine is operating in the top 2,000 RPM band, then the few extra horsepower is desirable since that is the range you are actually using. While the video doesn't address the area under the curve, we did not loose anything, only gained. To your "850 minimum" comment above, I can assure you we have tested several sizes and designs of carburetors on this combination. The SS-750 is the best all-around carb. As stated in the video, we surely could have made the same numbers with a carb, but it would require in-depth (more than just jetting) modifications which would also change based on atmospheric conditions. The EFI system accounts for those changes automatically.

Well alot of mis information here didn't give cfm rating of each and also didn't show the shitty fuel curve of the throttle body injector vs. the carb that obviously no one knew how to tune. Lol so do your valid research a carb will always make more power and have a flatter lean cruise and tip in than ANY efi . Yes the injected moter will start better cold and economy will be slightly better ( at the expense of a hotter engine remember fuel cools!) but will cost more alot more things to fail and less power! When engine is warm with a good carb ZERO difference in driveability!!

You've made multiple mistakes in your comment there. If you watch other videos on KZbin the fuel curve of a self learning EFI system will allways be more consistent than a carb because you have much finer control of fuel when you transition from part throttle to full throttle, on a carb you end up with fluctuations in afr when things happen like going from the idle circut to the main circut, or the power valves opening. You've also forgotten that if the carb and efi system provide the same quantity of fuel, the intake temperature between the two will be identical. The only way the intake would be cooler on the carb is if you have a higher fuel flow rate or a richer afr.

Tune the carb better and it will outperform that efi.
