FI Shootout - Stillen, Greddy, Vortech, JWT

I hope this was not posted before. A great article in R&T for everybody who's considering going FI. The results are not surprising in terms of power but not quite what I expected in terms of performance. I'm pretty happy about the Vortech results because that's the FI option I would favor.
Have fun reading.

Awesome article. Now that the Vortech is CARB approved it is even more attractive to many potential buyers.

Too bad APS ST and Turbonetix didn't step up to the plate.

I couldn't agree more myself! Great article.

I wish they could have been more scientific about it
They really should have had 4 350Zs all with the same components. Instead they did it where each one had different stuff in it so the results are skewed

Thanks for the post... I've heard of the article, but like the other poster, couldn't find the magazine for some good reading.

Good post.

I simply cannot believe that after 24 hours this post doesn't have 100+ replies.

This is what it's all about people!!!
