K&N ECI Plate?

[bajajoaquin]

Has anyone seen the new intake product from K&N? It's the "ECI Plate" and is designed to go under a carb to help it idle and accellerate more smoothly. I just saw the blurb on Hot Rod's website, and I gotta say: I don't get it. They think it's like the second coming, but it seems to me to be the worst of both worlds: you have to plumb a new system and still tune your carb. It also costs nearly the same as an entry-level EFI.

I'm a fan of the new EFI setups, and I think I'm going to go with one when I do my engine rebuild. So what I'm saying is that I'm predisposed to some sort of electronic upgrade. But this one doesn't make sense to me. Am I missing something?

That seems interesting. However, at that price, you could go full EFI.
