For the most part, I'd agree with you John. MS is good when you surpass the capabilities of the existing system.

However...I also think it is so much more current than the D-jet system in terms of control that one can only improve by going that direction. The definition is much more precise. I can only assume the fuel metering is much more precise, even with the stock injectors. One can run much smaller injectors without upsetting the apple cart. And, it's all programmable so you can tell it when and where to lean things out and when and where to pull out timing.

At risk of beating the proverbial dead horse, the strongest evidence I have is in my own situation with my 122. The otherwise stock B20E with unknown mileage and a header gets me between 35 and 40 mpg on the highway, and that's not just putting along at or below the speed limit. That't pushing along at 70+ mph...
