Monster Jam's EFI Revolution: Powering Up with FuelTech

December 20, 2023

FuelTech brings electronic fuel injection to monster trucks.

Monster Jam's recent mandate for all participating monster trucks to switch to Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems has ushered in a new era in the realm of high-octane motorsports. This transition, aimed at improving air quality and reducing environmental impact, has led prominent teams like Team Scream and Over Bored Motorsports to collaborate with FuelTech, a leader in EFI technology, to not only comply with the new regulations but also to harness the power and efficiency advantages that FuelTech ECUs offer.

The switch from traditional carburetors to EFI systems is a game-changer in the world of monster truck performance. EFI provides more precise control over the fuel and air mixture, resulting in better fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and notably, increased power output. This precision is critical in the high-demand environment of Monster Jam, where every bit of power and performance edge counts.
