New AA catalog has a "fuel injection competition kit"
http://autoatlanta.com/model/914-0704/Sec2/914-page034.html claiming a 35HP increase with no other engine modifications noted.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) How can just replacing the injection give this much more power to a otherwise stock type 4? I just spent lots of time and some $$ to get 15-20 hp out of my 2056 with lots of other associated tweeks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) this is not a flame job, I just don't get it. |

Cost is $85 per horsepower per the claimed increase.
If I had a stock motor, I'd make a deal with George: I'll dyno my car before and after, and they pay $85 for each actual increase in hp that I realize. My bet is that I get fewer than 10hp. Course, I've already documented that I can get 4hp be relocating the stock air intake - so that's $342 worth of horsepower that I got for $4. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) edit: typed this before George's comment. Still applies - just to CB Performance I guess. |
