It replaces the carburetor with a fuel injection system that is modular and easy for an experienced mechanic to install. The ECU controls both fuel and ignition timing. It comes pre-programmed for a 1600 engine and can be reprogrammed for larger engines by the end user. In addition to optimizing fuel and timing for peak performance, the system has a high-idle mode for cold start and compensation for elevation and engine temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis kit provides significant performance gains.  Dyno testing showed an 8-HP gain from 46 to 54 HP and an 11 ft-lb torque increase from 79 to 90 ft-lbs. The engine starts right up when cranking and does not require that you touch the accelerator pedal. But when you do hit the gas, the responsiveness of the engine is transformed with instant acceleration on demand, and the engine feels smooth and strong over the entire RPM range. And, as an added benefit of having an O2 sensor, is improved fuel economy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe kit can be installed by an experienced mechanic in about four hours.
