    I believe you would pick up a bit in both torque and horsepower, but the biggest improvement would be in throttle response.... Throttle steering the car and the ability of injectors to pick up the revs so much quicker then a carb would probably be the biggest improvement. Along with the injection, I'd set up the throttle pedal for the longest possible travel so the kid can work the throttle in very small movements, really helps in the mid summer dry slicky racing.... Another benefit would of course be the high speed bypass pill..... allows a good "fat" bottom end on the engine and allows some real tuning the mixture on the big end.... I'd say go for it!!!!!

    PS--That's the same size we used to run when they had the ridiculous 310ci limit at Jackson Speedway.... Even without any downtube injectors they worked good, actually think that throttle response was better with the small injectors....Hard to tell, though. Jackson was also a non-wing track, we ran the same chassis with a 410 in it and a wing. Always felt like the small engine and injectors had quicker response... Could have also been a lot to do with no wing, though.......
