Some sources seem to feel that while the OFFICIAL HP remained 
the same, there were people who felt that the FI when it came out 
had more oomph than the dual carbs that it replaced. I can't help 
thinking that there is some possibility that much of the 
badmouthing of the OE FI comes from people who have never 
experienced one in proper running order.

Along these same lines, I think it is only fair to point out that when 
we make engine fueling comparisons, this is mostly done between 
the OE FI and aftermarket carbs. There's a bit of apples and 
oranges there. If you want to compare the OE FI to something, the 
most appropriate thing to compare it to would be OE carbs.
