What is an Engine System?

An Engine System is the combination of all mechanical and electrical components within the engine and attached too the engine, plus the services required to make the system complete.

What is the advantage to using Fuel Injection Versus Carburetion?

There is much detailed information available to answer this question, so we will keep it short and to the point.

Using electronic fuel injected (EFI) systems provides several benefits

  • Increased efficiency
  • Improved throttle response
  • Better control across the RPM range
  • Greater acceleration.

In drag racing, you can get from point A (starting line) to point B (finish line) faster.

In circle track and road racing, you can accelerate out of the turn quicker, leading to quicker lap times.

Certainly carburetors will achieve the same big horsepower number as fuel injected systems. However, a correctly tuned fuel injected engine is more efficient, responds quicker, and accelerates faster.

Respecting the laws of physics and chemistry are very important.

We ask "When EFI keeps the engine operating at peak efficiency, why would you ever use carburetion?"

OUR STORY

Pro Car Associates was founded in 1969 by a pair of young enterprising engineers with a passion for drag racing, Chuck Wright and Jim Cavallero, who also owned Diamond Racing Engines (later to become Diamond Racing Pistons). Their focus was to make a strong impact upon the motorsports marketplace, which was undergoing explosive growth.

They chose to enter drag racing’s flourishing Pro Stock class with a 1970 Camaro built and prepared by Pro Car, and driven by rookie Jim Hayter. The effort was highly competitive, with Hayter running consistently in the 9.70s, and a threat to win on any given Sunday. Hayter’s effort in the new team’s Camaro did not go unnoticed, winning the National Hot Rod Association’s Rookie of the Year award for the 1970 season.

The success of the Pro Stock effort placed the Pro Car name at front of the ranks of engine and chassis builders of the period, and served as a springboard for both men to build their careers. Although the partnership was short lived, and Chuck bought Jim’s interest in Pro Car, the two have remained close friends.
