A whole lot of folks have modified motors running Ford's EEC IV controls, quite successfully. Dan's comments about lumpy cams giving them fits is correct. Lunati VooDoo cams and Comp Cams Extreme Energy cams were designed with fast lobes and low overlap to work with factory fuel injection. And piggy back controllers like Tweecer are also solutions for these issues. I don't see a problem.

2 decades ago I helped a fellow install EEC IV fuel injection in a 289 powered classic Mustang. I had no previous experience installing fuel injection. We acquired most of the parts from the wrecking yard, and bolted them in. The engine fired up and idled smoothly with the first twist of the ignition key. We hopped in for a test ride, and the engine motored away better than it had ever ran before, as if the fuel injection system had been oem. The engine was not equipped with a lumpy cam, it was just a strong little small block Ford. Really quite impressive how easy the installation was and how great the results were.

So there is a place for these things in the hot rod universe.
