looks like it doesn't have to be a perfect replica or you would not consider carbs...

you are in a rel. cold area - do you drive much at altitude also?

MFI has altitude compensation & cold start injection...

someone hunted down some factory info & posted it somewhere here re a few more ponies from MFI

BUT, besides cost, MFI puts more wt. on the rear of the car -- that pump was designed for diesel tractors -- it is a heavy chunk of steel

many people will tell you that MFI has a magic feel* to it - but in every case where I've inquired of an owner, the feel cannot be distinguished from placebo effect

* often seems to be related to throttle response

I think it is interesting that Steve does not come out and say that MFI has much better throttle response than carbs...
