I personally would stay away from the carb type throttle body systems UNLESS they have sequential injectors located in the ports , not at the throttle body location..

Yes on the O2 sensor, Jerry, as well as the higher capacity fuel pump. The TPS, MAP, MAF and air temp are all built into the body with no extra wiring. Not sure if they provide a dedicated coolant sensor for input to their ECU or not (probably). For a high performance application I agree that multi-port injection is definitely better, but for the run of the mill street rod that sees an occasional WOT for play, but mostly is cruising around I think these throttle body systems are a great replacement for a carb. Great tuning across the power band, good economy, and easy to install.

I'm not an Edelbrock rep and only heard about this new product today when I was talking to my Edelbrock guy about how correction curves work together. I'm just pointing out that another player has entered the game with the other "quick EFI" systems, and it appears they are raising the bar for the market with some improved tuning options and tuning accuracy. Any application questions go back to their website, or call their product sales lines as advertised.
