Best engine/FI system combo for the future., Which is best stock FI system? Options

Here is a link to my SDS install. I used some ITB's from Jake, so some of the install will be different from an install w/stock intake pieces, but you'll get the general idea.

Yes, dropping the engine is about 99% manditory. Finding a way to mount the crank sensor is the reason. If you went with SDS fuel only, and used a Mallory dizzy, dropping the engine would not be needed, but for a couple hundred more, the advantages of programable, crank fired ignition were enough to convice me to drop the engine and go with the full meal deal.

Hard to know what the engine "made" for HP, as Jakes numbers come from an engine dyno, and mine are from a chassis dyno, and one known to be "low" compaired to a dynojet or mustang. I'm expecting the corrected HP to be 105-110 at the crank for a stock-ish 2.0. It has euro p/c's, a slight head shave, resulting in ? for an actual compression ratio. I'm guessing its just over 9:0-1, but the builder (Brad Mayeur) did not check the actual ratio when building it. At the time, this was his "standard" performance upgrade. Stock lame-o cam, stock heads. Kerry hunter exhaust and supertrapp. Thats about it.


EZ to install? With the exception of the crank sensor, which was not all that bad to do anyway, this was a breeze.

Do it again? In a heartbeat.
