I hope this is not getting back to the old 'why a carb' argument.....
We all know EFI is superior in almost all aspects of induction.
Its also superior in price - when you consider the fuel delivery system, the fuel management system and accessories.
What Joe has designed is an efficient, effective and simple option for thise that may want to start with a carb and move to EFI later...or the crowd that wanna hot rod an efficient modern engine with old schooltech and knowledge.
I see it as a winner..either way......and I didnt even know that it works better than a 5.7 EFI intake.
