Engine tuning is the adjustment or modification of the internal combustion engine or Engine Control Unit (ECU) to yield optimal performance and increase the engine's power output, economy, or durability. These goals may be mutually exclusive; an engine may be de-tuned with respect to output power in exchange for better economy or longer engine ...
Mechanic fuel injection pump system "Kugelfischer" This system uses a three-dimensional cam. In early manifold injected engines with fully mechanical injection systems, a gear-, chain- or belt-driven injection pump with a mechanic "analogue" engine map was used. This allowed injecting fuel intermittently, and relatively precisely.

A port-map can be useful to determine opening/closing-timing and the area of specific ports. These diagrams are usually represented as a rolled out cylinder where the width equals the circumference and the height equals the stroke plus the cylinder skirt, the ports are outlined.
Multi-point injection (also called 'port injection') injects fuel into the intake ports just upstream of each cylinder's intake valve, rather than at a central point within an intake manifold. [17] Typically, multi-point injected systems use multiple fuel injectors, [ 18 ] but some systems, such as GM's central port injection system, use tubes ...
Myron Cottrell’s brother, John Cottrell, bought a 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR Busch Series race car and modified it to make it street legal.
