How **** up does your car have to be to run a full second faster by taking all the electronics off?The last comment is the best one. How can you switch from efi and not change the ignition. Remind me what site this is from so I never go there for help.
These are your friends? [emoji47]Original question was regarding idle issues on an EFI 302 foxbody.
Nearly unanimous response was "EFI is a pain, put a carb on it".
I'm no longer able to respond to the thread, and probably wouldn't as I'm clearly outnumbered by experts.
I'm up for a debate, So let's hear it, carb or EFI?
Oh wait: Here's one:
We took our '71 Chevy C-10 to Hennessey Performance for before-and-after dyno testing to determine how our power output had changed. With the Holley four-barrel carburetor, the engine made a peak output of 363.2 hp along with 414.7 pounds-feet torque. After installing the EZ-EFI, the truck produced 366.6 hp with 423.8 pounds-feet torque. Additionally, we did before-and-after fuel economy testing (over the same 125-mile test loop) and realized a 4.1-mpg improvement. Of course, what we most appreciate is the significantly crisper throttle response and much smoother cold starts.

And if you took it to a real speed shop, they could have made even more power!Oh wait: Here's one:

I decided to leave the group once I realized it was comprised of mostly autozone mechanics. Unfortunately I'm still getting notifications from that post lol. I'm glad to know you were the guy behind the post that made me feel like I wasn't completely insane.Tanner- how funny. Look again at that thread. You'll see that I also tried to say goingto carb was a step backwards and didnt make more power.. I finallly gave up - the logic of the nutswingers was too overwhelming...lol
IT was almost as good as the idiots who argued last night a lower temp themostat meant the car ran cooler and stopped him from overheating.
Fox body Mustangs Facebook page I believe.What site is this from? Sounds entertaining...I could troll?
I signed up here when I bought my first foxbody. I can go back through my own posts and cringe uncontrollablythank god i picked this site when i first started learning about cars.

A thermostat is labeled by the temp you want the car to run at of course
Foxbody and corvette groups are both swarming with the most confident morons I've ever found.
