We now can go to the dealer and buy a car that has 400-500 HP, gets 25+MPG and now meets even stricter emission standards. Why you ask? BECAUSE OF FUEL INJECTION.

JWD-you are an example of how dangerous a little knowledge can be.According to you multi valve heads,roller cams,scienced out heads,10 cylinders,crank trigger ignitions had nothing to do with the power increase-the magical FI did it all by it's lonesome.

Dean,i just looked at the site again.From what i can tell,YOU supply the manifold.There's more money.Another thing that makes me chuckle:The self tuning computer.Un-huh,like i'm going to spend $6,000 and not be able to tune the system?

And for you FE guys looking at this,you'd need the 10 degree Webber manifold for these TBs(or Webbers) to clear your hood.And then enjoy the fun trying to get filters to clear.

I know this is a old thread, but I have Keith Craft Racing building me a 302/306 with the DynaTek system and will let you know what I think of it next summer. Pending my GT40 is finished by RCR by then.

I may be a relative newcomer to the site but do all of you only care about assasinating the opinions of others or about the cars? Since when does anyone know what is better for someone else? none of you knwo what is a better system for my car any more than I could say I know what is better for your car.

When I first got my cobra and joined this site I was excited becuase it seemed to be about the cobras, regardless of carb versus fuel injected, small block versus big block (although that debate will never end) If no one else will tell you then I will - you all are full of yourselves and just like hearing yourselves spout what you think is incredibly intelligent words of wisdom. when all most of it is CRAP!

It's threads like this that make this site great.

I'm sure your 511 stack injected motor is impressive, looks impressive and makes alot of power, but I would guess it's $6K more than a carbed engine, and although it likely makes more low and mid range torque (HP) than a carbed engine, if you're running less than 58mm throttles bodies, it likely loses power from 5000 rpms up compared to a carbed engine. Not every mechanic on every corner can fix it either, and without some higher priced tools/computer, you can't tune it yourself either.

I see you're having problems as well.

Roush 511 problems

maybe you'd have been better off with a carbed engine? naw. The stacks are worth it.

I know there was a lot of negative talk on this thread and I brought it back up to later provide a report on my experience with this system. I know Keith Craft Racing is building my 302/306 and they are building two other big block motors with the system, so I'm not the only one out here trying the system. I hope to have my car on the road by next April, but this all depends on Race Car Replicas who is building it for me.

Anthony -
You missed the point of my post. I am not defending the stacks. Yes I have had problems with it. I am sure plenty of people have had problems with carbs as well. And I am not arguing the cost difference between the 2. In spite of what other people post on here, I bought the car and motor combination because it was I wanted. Not to look impressive, sound impressive or brag about it. I bought it because of my personal needs, reasons and taste. I love all of the cobras. I am just tired of hearing all of this BS with everyone trying to justify why their system or engine is better than everyone else's. If you have that low of an inferiority complex or self esteem that you have to bash someone elses car - go to another site please

Personally I am impressed by all of these cars and how each one is unique. I refuse to join in the pissing contest over whose is bigger/better. I would humbly submit that most of the people here enjoy any/all types of cobras like I do. I thought that was supposed to end once you graduated from high school! Grow UP

Well my engine is done and the car is scheduled to be finished by June. I will be able to update what my impressions of the system are some time after that.

I know two people that have the DynaTek system and they have both gave it the thumbs up

Here is my motor on the dyno:
