Yes they are.
If, I ever go EFI, I want that get that get up and a good timing set up that has individual timing control.

I Googled that one, and didn't find any installed pictures of it. From what I heard was just as many problems with tuning it. The beauty of the MassFlo system is it's adaptability to changes. Change a cam or bore it out, and a few calls and an updated computer and you;re in business.

I seem to remember it being a hard system to adapt a charger. I would rather buy a system based on adaptability to forced induction and upgraded components.

I think I mentioned this, but get on some of the mustang forums, and search for it. I think it's been a popular FI system with the Stang crowd.

Anyone got a pic of one of these setups?

I actually meant a pic of a setup like that in a Vette. I'm curious how it looks on the car.

Hilborn EFI
I've got a Hilborn type EFI system on my C3 run by a F.A.S.T System with all the bells & whistles. I love it and can tune it , change the programing ect. any time I want with a laptop. I'm running a 383 that engine dyno'd at 507 hp with a carb. and chassis dyno'd with the fuel injection at 463hp! So that told me I didnt have as much hp loss through the drivetrain as other types of systems. I've had 60-80 hp loss on other cars. My point is it is : a fairly pricy system but more hp to the ground and DAMN it just looks BAD ***!!!

I have to say I'm drooling for a pic or five of your engine, all angles, closeups, profiles, plumbing...everything.

As far as pictures go I'll have to wait until I can get some help in posting the pictures as I dont have a clue on how to do it.. I'll post them early Sat. Sorry for the delay. This is a short Hilborn Setup It wont quite fit under a stock hood, It needs only 1/4 inch on the front two tubes so i changed to a hood that was 1 1/2 in.taller.
