Great stuff.  How often do I take my engine to 6,500 rpm...never really.  Most of time it doesn't see 5,000 rpm, and if it does, it is for a split second.  I have never raced or tracked mine.  It actually drives very well with the carbs, but my mechanic has mentioned going EFI to me several times, so I am considering it.  I guess one of the things I am weighing is how much satisfaction and better drivability will I get out of it compared to the cost of conversion.  If it is lightyears ahead, I would do it.  But if it is limited all-around performance increase, is it worth it?

If you are happy with the way your Pantera runs with a carburetor and it does everything that you want it to do, then don't bother with fuel injection. It is doubtful that the fuel mileage increase that you would get with fuel injection  would every pay for itself. I am totally satisfied with the fuel injection system on my Pantera and would never consider going back to using a carburetor. I also have an on dash monitor that tells me everything that is going on with the EFI system, which in the event of a problem, I won't be guessing at what is wrong.
