I just went through the change back to FI on my 2056. My opinion is that without changing the cam, you will always be leaving HP on the table regardless of the carb size. I got a pretty good punch from my 44s. But I have found that even though I have not completely dialed in the FI for my additional displacement, that the FI performs better than the carbs. Yes there are moments when the carbs have the upper hand even with the stock cam, but overall the FI is a better all-around performer if you keep the stock cam. I have the 44s sitting in the garage which will need to find a new home soon so I would like to say buy these and they will solve your problems. But my experience says the FI is the best bet with the stock cam.
Others may have more experience or actual data that says something different but so far I like the FI over carbs with the stock cam. Change the cam and it may be a different outcome. |

Well I like being able to leave the car for days and then reach in and have it start without having to pump the gas pedal and the fact that it always stays running. Don't miss the gas smell you get with carbs when you put the car in the garage on a hot day after a drive. I like the fact that I have almost instant throttle response and no flat spots. Better gas mileage. Overall smoother pulls from low and high rpms. I Ike that once I set something it stays and never gets clogged. I like that if I have an issue there are ways to test the components rather than guessing if your idle jets are clogged or if you are out of sync. You can learn a lot about an FI system with a multi meter. Anyone else have something? |
