That's the main purpose of the testing this year, to learn what the engines require for injectors, pressure, flow rates, etc. I'm sure when the testing is complete there will be some very specific limitations on the EFI system, and I would imagine a sealed ECU. One of the preliminary ideas what that NASCAR tech would have a plug in unit to verify the settings are as per the rules. Will be interesting to see what the final outcome of the testing is!

Dead on with the development potential, Robot!!!! As with many other systems and components first used in racing us Hot Rodders will eventually benefit from the wealth of information and new developments derived from NASCAR switching to EFI!!!!
