So much for the Modman....

I will concur regarding driveability issues with the ModMan and a carb setup. That was my original issue when I did the swap as it was the cheapest route I could go to get the engine running. Didn't get any computer/wiring with my engine and didn't have the money to replace both that and make a high pressure fuel system at the time. The XV was nearly twice the price of the ModMan (and potentially even worse for performance) and though the Edelbrock was cheaper than both, it would have required me to buy a second carb, which would have negated any savings.

Overall it ran okay, but didn't transition well. A hard stab of the throttle would make it fall on its face, but a roll into full throttle worked okay and the top end had a decent seat of the pants feel. The fuel injection is worlds apart though. For street driving I don't think the intake is all that bad, but for any kind of performance driving it's a tough sell. I'm sure with enough carb tuning I could have made it better, but I didn't have the parts and was running out of ideas on how to fix the problem when the fuel injection system fell into my lap.
