Default There is a little more than that

diethelm It depends on which FI system you are looking at. I run a F.A.S.T older system. I have 60 degrees of timing. How much more do you want? 90% of the FI systems need a crank trigger and a cam sensor. Cam sensor tells the motor when to fire the injectors either in batch or the start of sequential order. The crank sensor is for the timing of the motor. My crank timing is 55 degrees before TDC. Others may vary. Unless you are a dry sump motor, you will still fine it easier to go with the distributor firing the plugs. Moldec has the 4 coils. I don't know alot about this FI system but like every system there are limits and extra bells and whistles. My system has timing and fuel control for each cylinder. Most don't. This helps the weaker cylinders to balance out the motor better. 4 coils make more spark and also wasted spark to each cylinder. My HVC coil works harder. Bottom line, it's what look you are looking for. Rick L. Ps I left out the price range from $1,000.00- $9,000.00 depending on intake, injectors,sensors, throttlebody, or throttlebodies, ( like TWM setup ) ECU and wiring for the car. If you go FI, make sure you are going with a wide range O2 sensor setup.
