Since 2012, Fuel Injection Enterprises (FIE) has been a key partner of Bennett Racing. Spud Miller and his team consistently provide exceptional support, combining extensive technical knowledge with top-tier services. We felt it was time to give a detailed overview of who they are, what they offer, and how you can leverage their expertise to make your race car or bike faster.
Who are FIE?
Let’s start with a closer look at Fuel Injection Enterprises (FIE) and the journey of Spud Miller, a drag racer turned innovative engineer. Starting from a young age, Spud’s passion for racing and mechanics led him to create FIE in 2002. The company specializes in mechanical fuel injection and magneto services, offering standout products like the Super-Mag+ magneto. Spud’s hands-on approach and engineering expertise have advanced fuel systems and ignition technologies, helping racers achieve superior performance and reliability.
It's a modern day retelling of an old story. From boy racer in a shoebox Chevy, to Nitro slingshot pilot, to racing parts manufacturer, Spud Miller and FIE are two more names you need to know in our history of racing and hot rodding.

FIE - Fuel Injection Enterprises is now the home of the Super-Mag and Sprintmag!
Magneto Services
They also service and upgrade other brands of magneto such as MSD and Vertex, able to perform check-ups, service and rotation changes to MSD Pro-Mags including the 20 amp upgrade for ProMag 12's.
Their typical magneto freshen-up service includes the following:
Disassembly and Inspection - They check the bearings, the windings, look for carbon tracks, test for shorts, check the condenser capacitance, and generally look for anything that could possibly become a problem on the track. Everything is completely cleaned and any rust or corrosion is taken care of.
Magnet Charging - For the models that require recharging, they recharge them back to full strength.
New contact points - Every Super-mag/Sprintmag mag receives a new set of contact points.
Run-in/Output testing - Once your mag is back together, it is run in to ensure that everything is correct, to put a little time on the contact point rubbing block and a little heat in the windings. The point gap is reset, the edge gap and rotor phasing is adjusted, and then the mag is run through the RPM range to check for spark stability, current and voltage. Finally, the output is checked at the standard 2500 engine RPM and recorded for your records on a test report. If a transformer was supplied with the mag, they test its health and then use it during the mag output test for real-world numbers.
Magneto FAQs
Do you have an old mag laying around that could use an output upgrade? They can upgrade any Super Mag II or III to a IV or V. Hop-ups and output upgrades are no problem. FIE can DOUBLE the output of your standard OAC (internal coil) Vertex mag very economically.
Pick up an old mag off Ebay and need the rotation changed and things freshened up? No problem!
