RE: Engine ?
technically, all combustion engines have elevation problems...
fuel injection is a pain in the ***..if the bmw has a hesitation or a miss, i have to go through a sequence of checkpoints like plugs and such, and i end up hooking it up to a computer to figure out what is wrong..to run high 15s...
on the other hand, the white car is carbed, and if is misses or something, we can take it apart at the track and fix it, no questions asked...worst case scenario, my ignition is bad, and thats as "electronic" as it gets on that car.
carb engines are easier to deal with as a whole, and there are less components to change to adapt to performance mods. if im too lean in the white car,i can change my jets in 5 minutes, but i bet that alot of people here dont know what "jets" are...

There's just something about being able to download a tune and then never screw with it again.
