The way you are talking about driving, I'm not sure how much more efficient your system is going to be?

I would say I rarely get my FR-S up above 5k rpm. I drive it 90% of the time like a normal car (since it *is* my daily driver). Screw all this "because racecar" stuff. My car will almost certainly never see the track and it will never lay down a 1/4.

Personally, I'm fine sacrificing power up top for low-end oomph since I never drive at the redline. I'm not interested in launch control or any of that malarkey. I just want the car to feel a little more responsive on the throttle from 1.5-3.5k rpm. Depending on how much of a hit the fuel efficiency takes, I might be OK with it.

That said, I've had my eye on about half a dozen different FI solutions, but I'm withholding judgement and selection until they are more thoroughly implemented, tested, and flogged.
