Ha Ha! I remember reading this almost exact same thing back in the 70s in one of those paper things what were they called...oh ya magazines. It went to great lengths to explain how fuel injection was a fad that would never catch on because it did not give the proper fuel/air mix and everybody's engine was going to burn up from running too rich! Nothing was ever going to touch the carburetor and it was going to live on as the only way to get true power for eternity. So going by that (it is even possible I still have the mag someplace) we should all forget FI and run out and get 4 barrels!
Oh and back then FI stood for Fuel Injection and NA for a carburetor system and this change in meaning still messes with my head every now and then.
