 My gtr.....
Was STOLEN from work...... It's still under investigation. The company insurances will cover the theft however it is a $2500 deductible....
If the my motor doesn't come back up which I doubt it will, I wanted to ask do I go back to 35 carbureted or 37 efi. I've heard the efi has been having some harness troubles and all and its not as friendly to mod. Give me your opinion please

thanks

what about your boat insurance wouldn't it be cheaper to go through them probably a lower deductable. That is unless you dont have insurance on your boat. I would go 35 carbed just for the simple fact is there seems to still be quite a few bugs with the new efi. I just like a carbed motor easier to work on tune and mod.

I'm leaving the carbed motor . Had a stage 2 . I'm sure the EFI will be fine ! I plan on running the crap out of it till my warranty is up. I just don't feel like modding the thing all over again so chose the EFI.

Love my EFI. The only issue I had so far was completely unrelated to the EFI system. I'm at 38 hrs or so.

Unfortunately I didn't have any insurance on none of my rig, so my companies insurance is my only option.

I'd go EFI.

There have been some issues related to the electronics of the EFI but thus far Briggs has been really good with addressing them.

The stock efi is stronger than a stock carb'ed engine.
