I believe that is part of the fundamental issue being discussed/brought up. With 20 years of EFI technology behind us, it doesn't make sense why these systems continue to be out of touch for most enthusiasts? I understand supply and demand curves, so I don't need schooling on limited production = higher fixed costs per unit = more $$$ per unit sold to make a profit.

It's just that this particular manufacturer is making some pretty bold claims. And, I might add, at 10X the price that a good, prepped carb would cost. I won't fully pic on them for price...seems like ALL of the stack EFI set-ups get a healthy premium for the cool factor.

They need a guinea pig in So Cal to prove them right? Bring it on! I have over 1,700 posts here and I'm not afraid to write-up full reports on other mods that I have performed in the past (good, bad or indifferent). Check my history to verify. I'd give them an honest test in real world conditions on a motor that is around 470-480HP at the flywheel. That covers 90% of the known Cobra universe (the other 10% being for the real HP junkies). Testimonials sell systems, not print advertising.
