You sounded like you were on the fence between webers and an individual runner fuel injection system.
The problems you have with ther Hilborn FI setup is inherent on a multicarb setup as well. Even with multi-feedback efi, since you are not running a factory setup, you will still have to tune by plugs, sounds, and drivability to get your baseline tune-up. The differences between carburators and fuel injection are numerous, even with true mechanical FI. Mechanical FI makes more power than carbs. A simple efi controller that mimics mechanical FI fuel delivery will make more power too.
