Reply to "351c EFI intake manifold"

I don't need to do anything, but thanks for the inquirey.
I'm always looking for better alternatives.
I am presently still in the IR FI mode.

The IR FI components are all there. I am told that the technology is manageable. Hell F1 teams use it all the time. I can do that, right? DeTom has faith in me.

The Weber IDA "look" seems appropriate to me for the Pantera.

For me this is the way the Pantera should go. I love the sound of the FI Lamboghinis. (Yes I know v12's don't sound like 5.7 v-8s), but part of that whine/scream is the IR FI at work. No question about that.

Because of the costs of the IR FI I am reluctant to jump in head first. Also I don't have the bucks. The buy in is around $6,000.

A Ford EFI would be interesting IF THERE WAS A MANIFOLD FOR IT, i.e., a "bolt on manifold".

I can tell by some of the responses that I am getting from the "FI experts" ( I don't mean you guys here on the forum) that supply complete running systems that there are some "implied pitfalls" that haven't been worked out yet.

The IR FI system had a starting problem. Whether or not the still do is unclear.

I suppose it depends on the definition of the word "running" or like what Bill Clinton said about how it depends on what "is, is".

The buyer has to work this all out.

That whiney SoCal, "I'm too cool for YOU to understand me" and "you're wasting my time" additude is unmistakeably present in those sellers.
That characteristic is part of the traditional snakeoil salesmanship that I have run into so many times before, seemingly passed on from generation to generation, that goes with buying a a bill of goods.
It sets off the flashing caution light immediately in me.

I don't know. I shouldn't doubt "them". Maybe they can walk on water...new technology ya' know.
