all you really have to do is start surfing this web site and you'll pick up this stuff pretty quick. By the way whp stands for wheel horse power and psi stands for pounds per a square inch.

fuel injectors do basically the same thing as a carburator(spelling?), except carbs are controlled by the way u manually set it and fuel injectors are cointrolled my a computer that is mounted somewhere inyour car

Carbs are your air feul mixers. They distrubute the feul in a ratio with the air, this creates your air feul mixture, that makes the explosion in the cylenders that makes the crank spin, which makes ya go. feul injectors do the same thing as a carb. A carb puts feul in the air by sucking out the fuel using passing air in the venturies (those tubes in the carb, or barrels as they are reffered as) the air creates a vacume, which puylls out fuel, more air, greater vacume more fuel, so the mixture stays the same, injectors, just use a pump then they shoot feul in the air. Feel free to ask any questions
