<< Now no doubt Javad is going to say that using the distributor fired
 ignition works fine - and it does, but it isn't optimal.  >>

Sure, I agree, its not _optimal_, but then again, the new direct injection
system is more optimal than the current versions of Motronic.  My goal
initially was to create a fuel system that performed at least as well as CIS,
but was tuneable too.  Fortuantely, EFI performs much better than CIS, and
the programmabilty takes the fuel system out of the list of limitations in
the drivetrain for increasing power to the level of x.

<<You have to set the timing such a little retarded such that the jitter in
the
 ignition signal doesn't cause knock.  Ah, but the knock sensor catches
 that you say.  Yes, but in general, when the knock sensor kicks in,
 you lose - they use large amounts of retard and slowly advance back
 to the programmed timing.   >>

I definitely agree with you here, as per my earlier posts.  Proper base
settings are critically important, no matter what system is being used.
