Are we stuck in a rut?

[phat46]

Phat 46, I have been running FITech refi for 3 years now. I've had two problems with the unit. One was an open injector, not much fun with 58psi of fuel running down the throat. And a burnt connector pin on the wire that supplies the fuel pump. The injector had something stuck it and the earlier version (mine) of their unit had 22 gauge wire carrying 20 amps to the pump. They have reworked their wiring problem and anyone's injectors can get stuck open.
The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks, instant throttle response, better fuel mileage, timing control, and instant starts.  My wife loves the fact that there's no fuel smell in the garage anymore. BIG benefit that one.
Oh, it cost me $1500US and their prices are lower than when I bought 3 years ago. I bought the 600 hp unit and their fuel management system

I was looking at the full fuel injection systems, not the TBI units, I see some are now over 4K!!!. I see the Fitech TBI's are quite reasonable, that may be the way to go.

You have to resize them to 600x800, I think.

Photo size needs to be 480 x 640 if up loaded to the board.  Also under 100k as I recall ?

I set size at 480 x 640 and reduce quality do the file size is reduced

Sunday morning ramblings: Part of the "stuck in a rut" is defined by one's comfort zone and skill level. If staying within those parameters has something to do with one's satisfaction and happiness in the hobby, is there a reason to change? Some are driven to always try to exceed the previous build, some not. I've seen a handful of some members' cars. Some have carbs, some have efi. They are all very good.

I am fresh out of ways to post decent pics. My host site no longer allows my browser as of yesterday. Same old song.

But!  In answer to your question Bill, and figuring you know which side of the fence Grape parks on... (Funny thing is, that car has only been built once. Long ago, far away, and not by me but they used all new parts. )... I submit this observation: A man in his 30s probably would not have that question.

For me, if full throttle is useless in street trim thats a waste.  :?  I have always felt that way. I had a couple GM 307 3 speed manual steer 14"s and all drum cars and it was loads of fun pushing them to the limits like a mad dragster, dumping clutches banging gears floating valves racking glass packs making pegleg gravel roostertails and all while being passed by Corollas and Caravans driving normally. Its a matter of how much excitement you need in your day, I reckon. Some days, rut sounds pretty good. If you're a deer.

I only drive about 5,000 miles a year. If I need to concern myself with fuel mileage, speed and being outside of a rut the I'll drive my '03 Ford Ranger with 178,000 miles on it. If I want to feel a sense of accomplishment I'll put a few miles on the Jeepster. I don't want my wife "Stuck in a Rut", bot I don't mind "Sitting at the Curb" while I think about the next step to take. GPster
