<VV> OT / EFI vs. Carb

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

Gotcha, but this is a VERY old article, and it doesn't hold up under the light of day. Proving the general case with a single specific example (which none were cited in this article) is one of many flaws in this piece.

EFI is the way to go , but there is always the exception 

The original point was concerning a WOT peak power. 



Warren Johnson has an opinion.

 It's a highly erroneous article that has no basis in fact and attempts to 

violate the most basic physical chemistry rules. 



The very first error is carbs make more HP than EFI. Given both are optimized 

for making HP, EFI will ALWAYS beat a carb. Less air flow resistance, better 

air/fuel mixing, and the obvious one, far better A/F control. 



The fuel vaporizes in both cases, no difference here. So, the cooling effect 

will net out to be the same. 



This author is simply and flatly ignorant of the facts and the theories.
