Reviving Dead Cobra

Or like I said you could just use a $750 carb and an hour with a tuner and get the same results as a 3k-4k efi hardware and a day with a tuner.

To really understand why I claim the above just understand modern self-adjusting fuel injection systems in modern vehicles were a solution to the stricter emissions standards. Manufacturers could make a vehicle that would pass emissions and operate well under all conditions - mainly altitude. And static altitude at that. Probably less than 10% of the cars actually driven in the US actually benefit from the semi-automatic altitude compensation built into todays EFI systems. Most run the same drive back and forth to work every day for decades as I have. But Ford, Dodge and Honda got to build one car that operates at sea level (or near it) as well as at 8000 ft.

If you're looking for bling, then the faux 8-stack is eye candy. And I say the 8-stack+EFI solution is best if you want that look only because I wouldn't wish a real 8 cyl Weber on anyone. But the EFI systems that go with them are finicky and the adjustments needed to keep the throttle bodies synchronized are not for someone that isn't mechanically inclined and equipped with the proper tools.

Otherwise EFI will not really gain anything that a good carb will give you.

But it's your money
