Hi Dean

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The reason for the surge you have seen is the long intake track on these motors (blower plus intake). EFI and it's ability to adjust idle gain and damping will go a long way to solving this. I am also thinking of running two sets of injectors. One set in the injector above the blower and a second set in the intake ports. The later short cicuits the long intake track and allows the motor to idle properly.
