EFI vs CIS



Before I would jump to CIS, I might take a hard look at B4B.  2000 is a bunch
of money that can be spent elsewhere on a CIS system.  I've driven CIS cars
that are really fast.  I've driven Graydon's car which is fast.  What does it
tell me?  Well, money no object, I see advantages to CIS.  For most folks I
would argue that until you've done the 'other' mods, EFI isn't the place to
start.  Sequential EFI, maybe can be argued to have big benefits (torque), but
compared to your basic EFI, CIS isn't holding you back.  Not at all.

To justify bigger and 'better' one should demonstrate need.  I would argue
most that consider EFI, haven't done the basics to justify the need.  Does it
work?  You betcha.  Is CIS keeping you from going fast and tweeking your car.
Nope.  Is EFI the answer?  Depends.  What else ya got?

The key to mods is lambda = 1, from 825rpm > redline.  That's all.  Can EFI do
it?  Yup.  Can CIS do it?  Yup.  Ok, where do we go from here?  I wouldn't
consider a swap from EFI to CIS.  However, I don't think it's anymore
necessary to go the opposite way either.
