You are all correct, lots of complexity and some extra weight, but if your Cobra
handles well enough there no other option. A carb will flood or cut out and fuel injection needs a constant flow of relatively cool fuel. Drag racers don't run fuel coolers for no reason, so putting pumps and tanks in the engine compartment is not a good idea.
