I think one other shop did one. LT1 castings and TSP worked them.

So one of the things I'm curious about with supplemental fuel injection is this.

The use of DI is fundamentally what allows the use of pump gas with static CR of 11-11.5:1. What does flowing fuel into the intake port require with regard to timing adjustments and fuel (octane) requirements?

It's another way to be able to run full e85 also.

However keep in mind a secondary port injection setup takes a completely separate pump (you have to sump the gas tank) and a completely separate ECU to run it.

More fuel supply / volume = ability to run higher octane = more power
