but think I could get 4-5mpg more using FI . . . anyhow, yes, know it is more $$$, but if you have to buy a TQ and then rebuild it, and need parts, you are probably getting close to the FI cost . . .
I do not agree with either part of your statement. A properly tuned carb and ignition would be very close in mileage to a retrofit throttle body kit on a wet manifold. Maybe exactly the same.
Port injection and a dry manifold might do better, but that is not what we're talking about here.
As to the cost, how about a real world break down of the costs of each that led you to that conclusion? And are you allowing anything for all the extra labor that an FI install would need?
