Ferrari Mailing List: Re: A reason for a 328

[Fortune Motors (wade]

I currently have an 89 328 in my shop doing performance upgrades to it.

Electromotive Tec GT system, and am rebuilding the fuel system on the car, 
changing everything over to a larger throttle body with electronic fuel 
injection. After all is done we estimate to increase HP by 25%
It does away with the garbage mechanical fuel injection system also going to 
direct fire ignition. Much more reliable and cheaper to maintain overall.
