I am currently rebuilding my Magnum Cobra here in the UK to a high specification for road and some track use. The engine is a 351 Windsor stroked to 418 with AFR 205 heads, victor junior intake and holley 750 DP carb. The car runs MSD distrubutor, coil and 6 AL control unit.
I have hopefully attached picture.
The engine has just been assembled and the car will not be finished until March but having suffered with previous builds form slightly erratic performance using carbs, wanting reliability and optimum performance for road and track use along with ever increasing fuel prices here in the UK I am considering fuel injection.
Having looked at a number of sources, incluidng this forum, there is obvioulsy a wide choice but I am looking for soem experinced advice on which system to choose.
It seems that the choice is between 'self tune' bolt on systems such as Massflo and EZI EFI through more sophisticated TWM, Accel systems through to Stack, FAST, Inglese and Hilborn offering high quality components, full programmability and increased performance.
I have read that the higher end systems are complicated and require considerable set up and maintenance but when right deliver the goods. I really like the look fo the Hilborn setup but a three piece inlet that requires drilling of the lifter rails seems overly complicated!
I am a little sceptical about the lower end self learn systems as not sure that they will optimsie my setup and want to buy a complete matched system.
I want to make sure that whichever system I choose matches the quality and performance of the rest of the car but does not give me a headache by way of need for constant adjustment. Here in the UK the car will not be used much over the winter so needs a system that is robust and not affected by minmial or no use over several months.
Want to get the best that I can afford but don't want to make the right decision hopefully based upon experts and others with more experience than me.
All advice much appreciated.
