Rodknock, you could be a lawyer (or my 12 year old) if you're not already... I did read your posts and drew summary conclusions, and while you didn't say it out-right, I reasonably concluded that EFI is not good enough for you. I can infer this because you don't have it and you stated you would buy it when it meets your criteria. The first of your stated criteria was "if they work properly" - I did use the wording "doesn't work well", but a little literary license could allow a reasonable reader to conclude that "properly" and "well" might be interchangeable? I would submit that your response here would be superfluous not because my assertion was so far off-base, but because you have no real experience or expertise in the subject matter. Hmmm?
Further, I appreciate you would like us both to race like cavemen; it is congruent with your stone-age choice of combustible mixture metering device feeding your engine.. Haha
And to follow that, I think you might be surprised... I am likely a lot younger and in better shape than you are assuming. I do run a pretty mean 40. But lets keep it to Cobras on this "Cobra" site, shall we?
Finally, its probably best you don't ever run that car in the 1/4 mile or on any racetrack.
