Right, so lets start a thread on lean burn, that is where the most potential benefits are to be had here, not with vapor carbs. You can do it with custom tuning on standard FI systems. I would bet though just like with manufactures having to ditch lean burn, it doesn't meet modern ultra low emissions requirements. I have long wondered what kind of economy we are giving up at the expense of ultra clean emissions.
