[QUOTE="MachSVT, post: 1561641, member: 31918"] Whoa! You're as bad as me with the short story novels LOL! To your point (...and you have ben around awhile or know some people / person has been around awhile to be aware of these setups), I believe Hypertech made a "dry" kit for a Foxbody (I'm sure there were others, but for sake of convo) that handled fuel enrchment through the stock fuel system. If I'm not mistaken, that kit handled fuel enrichment through pulse width vs. pressure. One of my best friends in life I met through a street race a gazillion years ago (LOL) had this setup. To the point you loosely made, simplicity was bliss, as he did not have 2 solinoids to manage / worry about..."what if the fuel solinoid fails?....KABOOM!". The worst that ever happened is he went pig rich due to poor bottle pressure. That kit soon became unpopular because (....if I recall correctly) I believe the pulse width would only acomidate 100 shot....maybe 125. Back then, there were no widebands, dyno shops, etc. So if the application had exhaust mods (for example) the PCM was unaware, as it was speed density. If I recall, there weren't any roller cam 302 camshafts at the time. If there were, they were unaffordable for most guys. All the really fast stuff had been converted to carbs. Anyway...adding to your point...I felt those setups were best of the best. I've seen a lot of cars go "KABOOM!" because with aded complexity there (initially) wasn't safety measures in place to account for fuel solinoid failure....as an example. [/QUOTE]
