I have to agree with everything that has been posted. I have a polished TWM setup and it cost about 4 hours of dyno time to tune the car on the new motor. It recently started back firing and I don't want to bring it back for another dyno tune yet ... another 2-3 hour$$$ Easy to find a carb tuner, harder to find a TWM tuner.

If I were looking at converting from a carb to FI, don't know if I would want to spend $7-$10,000 (all in) on top of a $35-$50,000 cobra project right now. Have to add a new fuel system, O2 bung, new air filters, etc. There are other mass flow units out there and self tuning FI kits for a lot less and easier to install. Really need to show dyno sheets of different units, throttle response, mileage, 1/4 mile times, etc. and why I would NEED it.

I would bet that most of the Club Cobra members already have their cars built. You really need to get to the kit builder before the motor and fuel system is spec'd out, (don't want to spend twice) thus going to the engine builders as previously mentioned.

Think of the day after Thanksgiving. Retail stores need to offer 50% discounts to get your attention! Sorry, 10% doesn't seem to enough for this group today.
