I am telling you guys that the Hilborn system with the super-simple computer is a great way to go. Hilborn has been doing FI for a long time,and makes castings for other companies (kinsler). Mechanical FI makes great power, which is why it's so popular with sprint cars, but the efi version is easier to tune. No jets, pills, cam driven fuel pump, etc. If it seems too simple, compare it to the "controlled vacuum assisted gas leak" a.k.a. carb that you are already running. I have gone for a ride in a SPF with the hillborn FI and it was much faster than the same motor with an 850 and vic jr.
