Default so what is better EFI or MFI and why?

so what are your thoughts on the two, and what are the advantages and disadvantages, is it worth swaping MFI to EFI?

well.....can't think of to many advantages to mfi over efi to be honest!!! Swappin to efi is definately the way to go, gives u loads more flexibility when settin your car up.....more accurate fuellin, better fuel economy, the ability to 'map' your car properly.....the list goes on!!! Do it....go efi!!!

lol.....yeah you're right there!!!! I have to say tho, never really have any problems with mine startin, leave it a week or so and she always fires straight up!! More annoyin is that the meterin units are old now and generally unreliable....in the process of puttin omex management on mine which should sort everythin out

my mfi was mint made 290 hp and was the fastest mfi car i think 157.6
only thing i like about efi is its much easyier to set up or alter when things are changed on the engine i would say up to 250 hp there is no point.

It's so not worth the hassle unless u are drastically changing things. Gertting a decent map is a big problem. The smoothness and driveability from a nice MFi system is very hard to beat, especially with a mappable 5th injector.
