Default Injection Systems
Howdy,

Can someone give me a brief description of why one would want an aftermarket injection system on a IO-Lyc?

Increased Performance?
Improved Reliability?
Improved Fuel Consumption?

Default Tune ability
All comes down to your fuel delivery needs GPH and tune ability for your application. Personally, I have a RSA-5 on my Blown IO-540. I'm maxed out @ 25.4 GPH. Planning to go to a RSA-10 when I find the time to fab up a new intake pipe for the blower. If I'm not able to fine-tune this unit, I'll already have spoke with Don @ Airflow Performance to purchase a FM400 servo. A little more tunable unit for my existing fuel system app.

Thanks Thomas.

So if it was NA and low to moderate compression there would be no significant improvement?
