Retrotek in Mustangs and Fords

I dont like carbs much anymore although a good tuned carb or annular carb like an autolite or demon can run great. The retrotek is a little different than most TBI systems as it uses high pressure injectors which in theory should give a finer atomization of the fuel thus it should make a bit more power than low pressure tbi.

Theres also the intercooling effect that mpi does not have so in some conditions tbi can make more power than mpi for that reason alone. I have heard that the VFI from Barry Grant (one of the greatest ideas yet) may be re-released and that in my opinion bridges the gap powerwise between a carb and efi because in most cases at least with port efi the carb usually always makes more peak power and torque yet the efi has better drivability, low end and MPG's.

If you look at the chev ls-1, the single plane carb conversion doesn't give up any low end to mpi and makes more power.

As technology progresses the computers get smarter and tuning a speed density system becomes easier............

if BG does re-release the VFI i'll be all over that like white on rice. i wonder if you'll be able to buy just the throttle body unit itself, i'd still like to run it with a commander 950 computer.

A new version of the VFI is currently in the development stages but there is not an intended release date right now. Also if you look at our design we have a patent on flowing the injector through a carburetor style booster which in turns promotes much better atomization then some of the other methods being used right now.
