Not sure how that is hard to understand. It's not a DI issue as others tend to say, but how GM decided to power the high pressure fuel pump that is needed for DI for the Small Blocks.
I appreciate this thread, was wondering if the long start times I experience were an issue. Interesting on their pump choice. In my 911 when I walk up to car in my garage, even before I touch the car I hear the whine of the fuel pump, the proximity key must trigger it, so is there a reason for the cam driven fuel pump in the LT4?
