55. the argument
makes sense (at least for carbuerated vehicles. if the fuel/air ratio needs to be significantly changed the jets (both pilot and mains) need to be changed (at least they do on a motorcycle), if not the ability to burn fuel can be greatly affected.

But with modern computer controlled fuel injection, i would think that this wouldn't be such an issue: remap the timing and the injection specs and off you go.

But then again I am not an automotive engineer...

I can find precious little on retrofitting which makes me lean towards the above is correct. I would assume that if it is feasible a homegrown solution should appear.
