how much does it cost?

That's very cool. Pretty much a drop in replacement for a carburetor as long as you have an O2 sensor bung. Looks like it goes on sale in January, I'm curious what the price tag will be.

Going to call my speed shop tommorrow to see how much it costs, cool.

Wow - and no return line required. I might be interested in one of these. I have heard others that werent impressed with some of the existing systems out there like the Holley Projection system.

I'm not really thrilled with my Mass-flo setup. I think it has drive-ability issues. In the systems defense, i rebuilt the motor at the same time that i installed the EFI setup so it my be in the motor....but it's hard to tell just on my own.

 

Something like this would have been pretty cool when I was looking to build my set-up.

[Trinitys 134]

looks like it'll be about 2300.00 for the setup. Just was released at SEMA the other day and won the Best New Product award. I still think it's pretty cool.

 

I might be converting.

For $2300 what are you getting?

 

Why go for F.I. in the first place? Is it really that much difference between the two? I have an '89 EFI'd 5.0l that I've been contemplating dropping in but my thoughts were to ditch the F.I. and stick a Holley on it.

I wonder how it works with forced induction

$2300 sounds like a decent price for something like that from MSD. I was expecting north of 3k.

[rancherohandler 10]

For 2300.00 I wouldnt buy it, I would go with a manifold efi, msd says it will be availible after the first of the year, but for 2300.00 who cares.

still too rich for my blood ! cool product though

[Pakrat 1,043]

Very cool, I like the look and design but currently out of my league at that price unfortunately.

[Trinitys 134]

Not saying I'm getting it, just saying it was cool and thought I'd share. Currently, too rich for me too.

Verdict in - Nice prodcut but too much. Maybe they will come down eventually - for around $1000 - I'd consider it. Until then I'll just deal with my cold starts and slight lag I just can't get out of my Holley 650 Ultra

my edelbrock 1406 starts perfectly, hot or cold, 1st time every time and it's been on there with the current set up for 3+ years... and carbs are so cheap and easy to clean and rebuild.. I know FI has a lot of pros... but man I'd like to be able to do it for less. $2300 will buy A. Lot. of. Parts. or labor..

Thank but it's not a debate about EFI or carbs, it's a discussion about this product. I know there are pros and cons to both systems and made that decision about going EFI years ago. I'm running Mass-Flo right not but thought it would be cool to explore other avenues....like this one.

 

I'm a fan of the AFB carbs, simple to work on, easy to tune and a dime a dozen. I had several through highschool and also badass spead boar holly built by Devinci Carbs as a custon build(because he typically did only race square boar, no choke) on my brothers '67. And you're right you can get good performance and street-ability out of them but this is simply not the intention of this discussion.
