That's an interesting idea, but is also partly why I'm puzzled. If the performance gain was there, why in Gods name are the stock EFI runners so long and cumbersome? Why not just put them there like you are suggesting. It would cost more in butterflies, but think of the money they'd save on the upper!

This is when I wish I was still enrolled in a class at the cc. They loved questions, and teaching you how to figure them out.

As far as which is more responsive, I can almost always get a carbed engine to respond faster than someone else can get an injected engine to respond, but there are other factors. The Sprint engine has unbelievably quick throttle response, but then again it has 8 butterflies within inches of the intake valves, AND it doesn't have a flywheel to spin.

Take care,
-Chris
