It seems to me that the primary advantage of a FI engine is the tight controls on A/F ratio. What if you had a setup where you could dial in the A/F ratio on the fly as you can with carbed aircraft engines? Am I correct in assuming you can get away with some pretty lean numbers so long as you are puttering around in a low load situation and heat only becomes an issue under higher loads? If this is so, have a setup where he could drive around, very lean and if he wanted to call down to the engine room for more power, all he's have to do is give it a quick turn of a dash mounted knob? I suppose this has already been recommended by someone who said us a 4bbl with the primaries set lean and the secondaries rich. Maybe a combination of the two would be good, as I could see a situation, such as running down the hiway, where you are at a pretty decent sustained load, but not quite into the secondaries yet. In such a case, you would have the abilities to richen the primaries.
