Was the engine rebuilt prior to this swap commencing?
Was there a problem the owner is/was working to resolve with the ITB EFI install?
Keep building ‘em! Just wish you were closer to Houston! [emoji2]

Benefits of Independent Throttle body fuel injection/aftermarket ECU control
Increased HP & TQ
Improved Throttle Response
Complete control of the tuning for injection and ignition
The stock system is big, ugly and complicated...ITBs are beautiful, relatively simple...... and retro-cool
I am not sure when/if the engine was rebuilt, but if i'm doing the install, i always drive the car , warm it up and do a leak-down test to evaluate its current state......Scott's car runs great and the leak-down results were 3% or lees across the board....a healthy motor.

I can't answer for Scott.....but his 911 w/3.2 is a beautiful example and runs great....However, like you, he has been following some of the builds and was interested in moving to ITBs for the benefits listed above.......

regards,
