Default You guys are killing me!

From what Ive read on this message board, if Im worried about issues with stock engine longevity I shouldnt even bother with FI. Can anyone comment on this?

Come to the dark side. Everybody else is doing it, why aren't you?

It is so blatantly obvious our cars weren't built for FI, but if you have a huge supply of greenbacks for modding and don't care about longevity, go for it. Its a no brainer, imo.
Enron, from your sig, it appears that you have small-***** envy

I think you might have missed the point then.

Any time you add F/I to a car, you introduce risk...there is no free lunch. Sure is fun though!

The stock (no FI or other meddling) 350Z engine is practically bomb proof. How many have you heard blowing up while still on warranty? None that I know of. By adding FI you do run the risk blowing the engine if you don't do it right but you have a lot more fun and yes, less money.

Yeah, and AAM is my crack dealer! The clutch and flywheel are working great Dave (the two times I was able to drive my car). Thanks again!
