My trials and tribulations are documented in the forum. Not where I can do the search but you can.

Roush later switched to a different fuel injection system.

All things considered I'd just get the carb'd version.

Others will tell you that several of the builders here can build you a similar engine for less.

That's not the only thing that should have been done to compensate for your lack of breathable air.
