Id imagine that by controlling the pulse timing of transfer port EFI that you could inject reduce emmisions by injecting after BDC, thus avoiding the majority of it from flying out the exhaust.

It absolutely does a great job of reducing emissions, just not to the level of DFI. All our riders state there is no visible smoke and no spooge coming out the exhaust. The amount of emissions reductions depends on the general health of the engine and oil mix proportions. Stay tuned, there will be comparison testings done (TCI being one) and will be published in magazines next year.

Surely you already have the data to back up the emissions and hp claims, otherwise you wouldnt be making the claims correct?
So my only question is, why havn't we yet seen any of the raw data to back up the claims?
eg: dynographs, emmissions, fuel consumption results
Id be keen to see them, if your carb can do absolutely everything you say it can then I wouldn't rule out buying two 36mm cast versions for my 421 cub next year.
Sure independent testing is even better, but show us what you've got so far from your own tests!
As an engineer, I get heckled daily by salesmen trying to tell me why there product is far superior to product X, Y and Z. Its my job to sort through the sales pitches and get to the real facts.
So excuse my criticisms, but I'm a non-believer until I see cold hard indisputable evidence.

So you're heckling me right? Go read the gasgas and KTM forums, where we have posted dyno charts. Most people won't believe in house data and will say it was slanted to make us look good anyway. Wait for the magazine 3rd party tests. One of the posters here is doing some of the testing of there own volition, we didn't ask them, they asked us. (TCI). Read the forum.
We'll also be doing cert work for Zaeta, GasGas and several others soon and the reason I'm not posting due to confidentiality. However, we have already certified a SmartCarb in the US on four strokes without a catalyst, and if I was in the states and had access to my files I would post the recognized emissions labs data (Harrison-Wolfe, Fountain Valley Calif). Showing where we are 80% under EPA and ARB regs for a class B motorcycle and received a Class I rating
