Scott--
Yeah, gotta say that I was a little surprised by the dropoff in hp/torque with the EFI. We kept pulling with the carb until it showed that 34-35 degrees timing made the most power, then switched to the EFI and did some basic calibrations (the laptop wizard was none other than the guy who wrote Accel's software).
I assume everyone knew what they were doing (I sure didn't) and that these results can happen (?). There is still final, in-car calibration to do for seamless running. The builder said we could have done a few more pulls and gotten it over 600 with EFI, but that it really wasn't worth the strain on the newly built motor (or the cost per hour of the calibration guy....).
My innitial goal was to double the power of my '94 Rx-7 (currently running just shy of 300 bhp at the crank) with strain-free reliability, and I hope that's what I'll have.
