George, I don't think that it is necessarily the look that is the main factor to pick an IR system.
I think that is the abilaty to tune each cylinder as indepently as necessary for maximum performance.
Weber carbs theoretically can be tuned to each runner. Mine are not.
It is the promiss of computerized IR EFI to be able to do this.
The Ford system works well for replacing a single Holley 4v. It has a common plenum. That is what it was designed for.
How much more complex is a v8 with an IR setup? Isn't it something like 8 to the power of 8?
Add to that a system with no oxygen sensor and a mathamatical compromise between TPS and MAF.
A compromise that most likely will have to vary according to things like air temp, humidity, altitude, engine load and fuel quality, for each cylinder.
I think that although there is a basic script available to fall back upon, the variables for a car that is expected to be comfortably street driven and perform like an Indy car are too great.
To say it is going to be "tempermental" may be an understatement, which is all that I was ever trying to say to begin with.
Webers certainly are tempermental. I do not deny that.
I didn't intend to get into a technical discussion with people who obviously have vested interest in the marketing of these systems.
Not to doubt anyone or be argumentative, but I presume that those of you speak from practice and not theory and have used all of the formentioned systems?
As I said, I don't have the time and interest anymore (I'm really getting old and cranky) to do the testing and development. When it's plug and play, call me.
