Michael, as usual there are positives and negatives to both.

This will not produce the torque of FI, and torque is, besides being what you feel most, important, especially for street cars. There is no substitute, on our cars, for FI's tq.

On the other hand, this will be: less expensive, probably more reliable with no moving parts, a much quicker install and less likely to reduce mpg a lot.

So, it depends on where you want the power and how you intend to use your car.
