Yeah, but EFI works just fine.

I've driven to three over-13000-foot mountain peaks. Mt. Evans in a Bronco II.

Frankly, the bigger issue is the brakes. You simply must know what you're doing, or they will fade.

Yeah EFI is great for some stuff.

I think an even BIGGER problem that sort of ties in with the brakes is not going over the edge of the straight drop. I vote that they put some of the dragster parachutes on them if they go over.
