Hi All,
We are considering making the change (finally!) to fuel injection. I've been trying to sell my father on this for some time, and the latest tank of gas running poorly through his carburetor may be the last straw for him. He's also noticed the carburetor gasket getting eaten much quicker lately and is convinced it's due to today's gas mixtures (and we put in 93+ octane and additives).
That's the background, now the reason for this post: can anyone that has the time and an EFI system please comment on their personal experience with it? A couple of things we'd be interested in hearing are: 1) what type of EFI system you're using; 2) how many miles do you have with the system in place; 3)do the GMC gas tanks present any "fuel starvation" issues when travelling through the hills; 4) 4 "barrel" throttle body or 2; 5) finally, did you add a manually adjusted spark control or if you let an ESC system plug into your ECM to manage both spark and fuel.
Thanks in advance for all responses! Feel free to "unload" good and bad stories- we need to hear!
