Your question is best answered by Tracy; however, if I remember Tracy’s literature correctly, he went from an estimated 160 hp (with Mikuni carbs) to an estimated 180 hp with his first implementation of EFI … if these numbers are correct then it’s 180 / 160 or about 12.5% increase.

I still never got an answer to my original question;  how much more power comes from EFI vs. carb?  or is it a case that efi is just better tuned at all rpms since it has so many easily controllable parameters?  does efi produce an optimum mixture and finer fuel droplets that can't be matched by the carb?  if it does produce more complete burning and efficiency, how much?  I hear these type stmts, but never numbers.  are we talking 5%, 10%, 20%?    kevin (renesis in my future :-)
