Default Re: Fuel injection help

It has been my experience that the Hilborn EFI is a great choice for old school engine tuners who like to tune with a srew driver. The Hilborn ECM actually has electrical "pots" which are adjusted with a screwdriver.

Most other control systems require more complicated computer interfaces that the average builder is not capable of learning quickly. These also cost a whole heck of a lot more, but offer better drivability when tuned properly. I'm not so sure you'll need to improve the drivability, unless you are trying to make the car drive like a Lexus.

The bottom line is the Hilborn is an economical controller that does the job better than a carburator or mechanical injection. I was able to tune one pretty well just by going by the seat of the pants feel. It probably could be done better on the dyno- but this was close enought for the girls we go out with.
