Lay it out there. What are you running? Any plans to change?

(If you have multiple teeners, answer about the 4-cyl that comes closest to being a daily driver. If your teener's on jackstands, answer about how it was and how it will be when you get it running again.)

I have dual Dellorto 36s. I have followed some sweet builds using ITBs and aftermarket fuel injection, and i lust after them. Maybe someday, AFTER i get the car on the road for a year or two, i will go down that road!

I love these polls. Always some surprises. In the 914 ownership poll, I was surprised that having only one 914 puts me in the minority! On this poll, I was expecting to see at least a few folks considering a switch back to FI.

As for me... some PO put a Weber Progressive on it. I'm waiting for Raby's new cable linkage to come out and will hopefully buy a dual 40mm HPMX set from his shop.

if my engine was stock it would be stock FI... the stock FI is the BEST thing for a STOCK engine. the stock FI sucks for a non-stock engine.

Dual 40 Webers on a McMark 2056 with a Mallory and an MSD. Curious to see Jake's linkage as well. Running CB hexbar, hasn't failed so far....

Car is running pretty darn good, no plans to change... unless I win the lottery!

Babydoll has stock D-Jet. Motor has Euro P&Cs but is otherwise stock. I plan to keep it that way (with the concurrence of her owner).

Same here, however, I would like to switch to an aftermarket setup eventually. The cars I have seen with modern efi start and run so much smoother.

Is it possbile to gain more power out of our setup using aftermarket FI? What sort of gain coulsd be expected. Mine runs good, but I think the induction is the limiting factor?

Bigger throttle bodies, idle circuit control, timing advance curves, new style injectors. Just depends on how far you want to go. Could be a BIG increase, could be minimal.

Stock FI switching to Dual webers...just cause they sound so cool.
Different motor goes with the carbs so dont start whining...I know, I know, and I factored that in.
