Are you sure the fuel injection is the right path? Do the adaptable/self-learning system allow you to go in manually, and do they have enough resolution to handle the abrupt changes that happen with auto-x driving? I went through a similar exercise with my DFI system (Accel) where they didn't do the altitude compensation, and in manual mode there were so many tunable parameters with such high degrees of interaction that it was a real nightmare. Given enough time and patience it could certainly be worked out for a custom application but in the end will there be a gain over a set of well tuned carbs?
Hi Tony,
The system runs in alpha N just like the 498 did, way too radical to do any self
learning, the old one worked perfectly in autox. The only reason I changed was to get traction control. I am pretty sure it can be fixed, with tuning we made major improvements just smoothing the base fuel tables and changing the TPS enrichment curve. Carbs cannot handle the g loads and stumble because of float slosh. We are getting 1.5 G cornering and 1.2 braking and accelerating on 200 TW tires now.

I am trying to find out how to embed a video from Google drive to CC but so far no luck, maybe somebody on CC will know how and tell me. You Tube is so easy!
