Speedmaster '8 Stack' Down Draft EFI System

[skullandbones]

I have seen the system close up and personal on the shelf at SEMA. I have not purchased it yet but after checking the fit and finish so to speak, I think it passes the "eye test" for me. The ITBs are particularly will done. The butterfly action and overall machining on those look good. The manifold is clean enough but that will probably be addressed as a port matching exercise anyway. There is something I found that may put some people off. I did not see any channels for post butterfly vacuum reading. They claim there is a plenum chamber cast into the manifold. You can see a fitting that comes up out of that area. So I think it would require routing individual vacuum lines from the ITBs to the manifold fitting for a true vacuum reading (need to verify that). The fellow I spoke to at the SEMA booth acknowledged this. He said that could be accomplished by contacting them before ordering. I'm not making this up! Anyway, the other cool thing is I have a 302 based engine. I plan on eventually going to a 351W shortblock. I would have to purchase a new system due to the different deck height. However, you can swap the ITBs to the 351W manifold for ~$300. It makes it sound good to me.

Right now I am putting a new tunable computer (Stinger MS 2 PiMP) system in mine so I will not be changing over to this until I have mine tuned reasonably well wih the old manifold system.

The linkage they use on this system will probably have to be upgraded as well. It looks cheap to me.

Thanks,
