<VV> EFI vs Carburetors

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Given that EFI delivers fuel to the intake tract as well, and under a good deal higher pressure than carbs EVER could, the claim that carbs offer better emulsification and charge cooling is extremely suspect. Modern fuel injectors atomize gasoline to less than 10 micron droplet diameter, far better than a carb could EVER do!

 I belive that if the drag racers spent as much time developing efi for drag 

racing as they have developing carburetors for drag racing,

they would probably get better results than they are with their carbs. The 

reasons given for the carbs apparent superior results (better

emulsification and better charge cooling) are fixable by using twice as many 

injectors at half the flow rate, located farther from the

intake valves than is normally done on street cars. The advantages of such a 

set-up would be much better consistency of cylinder to

cylinder fuel air ratios, much better consistency run to run, and consistency as 

the temperature changes through out the day.
