It's all relative as far as size and an engines characteristics. Myself, with the good torquedelivery and gearing of the 3.7 in the Z, I beleive the the centrifugal is the better choice for tractibility and control. I have had a few FI rods in my day and it is important to match the FI systems up with the the motor based on the characteristics of the motor i.e. cams, power delivry, before hp and tq levels and where in the power band their the strongest/weakest.

By no meas is the 3.7 a big torquey motor, but it does offer good torque down low and the gearing puts it in the meat of that torque pretty quick. So, to maintain a level of traction and control the centrifugal is the way to go in my book.
