Thanks for enlightening me! I'm not familiar with the SPICA system, and all of its complexity.

I wouldnt call it stuck at all but technologically advanced, superior and easier to live with than carburetors, no matter who makes them or for what application.
The nerve of some people who should know better......

We all have our opinions on carbs vs. Spica, but those of you pooh-poohing Spica must not have ever lived with it well set up. I've had uncountable Spica cars, many as daily drivers, and I love it. I have it on my track GTV (15 years now) and it's got many thousand miles on-track and getting to and from the track with no issues. Strong, smooth, clean, good economy. I can get 27 highway MPG out of a 2000 GTV with Euro cams and big intake valves.
