I did notice that at the London Cobra show this year, there were more 8 stack and webber (both real and EFI) than I remember in the past.

I have to admit I do love looking at them.

I also somewhat agree with the previous post. The EFI system he pointed out is the next generation of the MassFlow that I have and it looks to be a fine system. Although I do disagree with the self tuning claims a bit, but that is another discussion.

I think these 8 stacks are way over priced. I am a fan of measuring the mass flow of air entering the engine. MAP is OK. When you have to go Alpha-N, I'm not sure it can measure fuel as good as a carb would.

I love the look of the 8 stacks. I think a mass meter in one stack might have a chance of working. Or if an air filter box was put on top and all stacks pulled from the filter box, a single tube with a mass meter could feed the filter box. I'm quite sure I could build this for way less money using a friends machine shop. I doubt I will ever try, but after I retire, maybe.
