I had an efi stack set up on my daytona coupe with a 392w that I later changed to carb. First point, I did not remove the stacks because they didn't perform. They were great and I loved the cool factor when I opened the nose! With the stacks, instant throttle response and lots of low to mid-range torque, incredible sound, and fair gas mileage. Because they are individual runners with no common or shared plenum, the characteristics are similar to a single plane manifold. The real difference being that runner size and flow rate limit hp in larger displacement engines at higher rpms, however the wonderful tunability of efi makes this less of an issue than with a carb.

If you really want to do this, make sure you are VERY confident in your tuning abilities or those of your selected tuner. There are many stories of great expensive set ups that run like crap and end up getting removed due to the lack of experience that many tuners have with unique stack efi requirements like fuel map transitions, accelerator circuit overlay, TPS mixing, etc.

Good luck, congratulations on your new purchase, and I say go for that cool factor!
