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.

Interesting - I see no increased power claims on the CB Perf site. That begs the question of where those claims originated. CB or AA??
