I presently run a 460 custom built motor producing 740 hp with 680 ft pounds of torque. It is plenty to play with providing that you keep the rev's under 5 grand to prevent leaning out the mixture. I am using a reflowed 650 cfm 4150 Holley.

I am thinking seriously about going to change the intake to accomadate the 8 stack Hilborn EFI set-up. I know the starting kit is $7700 with the computer, plus options and linkage.

Install and set-up will be done by a NASCAR Canadian Tire engine builder. (New generation Engine of Fonthill Ontario Canada.) Cost unknown.

New Generation has completed a small block 427 using the Hilborn system and it works perfect. (675 / 605).

My question is has anyone else used the Hilborn system, or Inglese, or any other EFI 8 stack system, and their experiences. I know the benifits of going from a carb system to and 8 stack EFI system. True Webbers, and their inherent tuneing problems are a bridge I do not want to cross.
