Fuel injection was an advantage because the 109 could enter a dive quicker than a Spit because the Spit had to first roll inverted due to carburetors. The 109 could just push over because negative G didnt affect the engine becasue it was injected.

yep, took the poms a little while to catch up. Though a woman at RR (I think) came up with a washer that went into the carby to allow the Spits to do the same until they got the injection going. The Germans were further in front than most with technology in the 30's and early 40's.
