My two cents. Right now I have a Speed -Pro computer sequential, wide range O2 sensor, two tier map sensor,IAT sensor, 1200 cfm throttle body. I am have problems with my supercharger drive system. I have 55 lbs injectors on a single plane Dove intake that I drilled and welded the bosses into Total bill was 3700.00 I went to Second Ave Speed and had the car Dynoed. Whe it was done, It idled smoothly at 800 rpm, starts right up and goes WOT with no flat spot on accelleration. Next year I am going to 58MM TWM throttle bodys like the Hot Rod build of by Mike Lefevers. It was not the cheapest way to go but the best overall way for a car that may run in 100F one day and 50F the next. It is nice to go out and just turn the key and it fires up without the smoke and shaken. My car can pass 98 NJ emmissions without cat convertor. Just another point of view. Rick Lake Carbs may make more power in the upper RPM scales, but FI makes more where it counts, all over the mid range. This Applys to weber carbs also. Why do you think they have 6 different sizes. 48 webers on a BBF run out of flow at 6800 rpm. On a small block 9000rpm is possible.
