SteveLaRiviere Administrator Posts: 42139 From: Saco, Maine Registered: MAY 99	posted 01-02-2000 09:08 PM I had a friend come over today, {he's a bow-tie freak, but nobody's perfect} and we got to talking about EFI systems vs carbs. That got me thinking about the EFI Spyder set up sold by Pro Mustang. {I believe it's a division of Coast High Performance} The reason I think it would be wise to convert my Mustang to EFI is that I feel that I could totally eliminate the low rpm fuel separation problem inherent with 351C 4Vs. The problem simply wouldn't exist, since you would be directly injecting the fuel into the intake port, and eliminating the fuel puddling problem, not to mention the problem of irratic vacuum signals at the base of the throttle bores. Plus, you could then program your fuel curve and really get some snappy throttle response. Has anyone out there done any experimentation with these types of conversions? ------------------ SteveLaRiviere/Administrator Mustangsandmore.com Cherishing the Past, While Racing into the Future!

I was reading about fuel injecting my 351C 4v even before i put her in the car. But from what i found it may be more of a hassle then its worth with the wiring harness and the computer types and such. But keep me and the rest of us updated because Im thinking it would be awesome and make the 4v 351C's much more streetable and able to perform well at a lower rpm range.

My bow-tie buddy already has over $2000 in his induction system and computer interface. Ouch! Doesn't Tony {Capri} run a set-up like this? ------------------ SteveLaRiviere/Administrator Mustangsandmore.com Cherishing the Past, While Racing into the Future!
