Has anyone else noticed this page? Looks like a cool idea.

Intersting idea. Seems like more than I would want to do though.

Spike, you are going with a carb anyways, right?

This is one of those quintessential "forks in the road". It is one which I have been toying with for about a year now and fortunately still have more time to think about it!

The decision is either Airflow Performance or Precision Airmotive fuel injection systems.

Both are FI systems, but they differ greatly component-wise!

Airflow Performance is mechanical and Precision Airmotive is electronic.

Airflow Performance is a Continental-style system and Precision Airmotive is Bendix King/RSA which has been used on Lycs for decades.

Airflow Performance is has this purge valve and Precision Airmotive does not!

It is not better or worse in my mind. Just a different way of doing business.

Are there any users of either system here willing to chime in on how they like or dislike their vendor selection?

I am interested in hearing from you!
