typically, the mech FI systems were used for drag racing, but they were also used for can-am racing. Kinsler will design a constant flow inj system for road racing, with additional bypass circuits for partial throttle operation.

I've been thinking about such a system for a while. I figure you would need a fuel holding tank in the engine compartment, feeding the fuel pump. In addition to the primary bypass, you would need a secondary bypass circuit, and maybe a hi-speed bypass circuit as well. Kinsler makes a dial-a-jet for the primary circuit to easily adjust for different temp/pressure/humidity conditions. You may need a separate fuel pump to prime the circuit for starting.
