Yup, I put one of the old units on a customer's car about the same time. Lots of problems!!! They have new and greatly improved electronics now, local dude put one on a SBC this summer, runs great!

With EFI throwing anybody out based on what they were doing seven or eight years back is pretty hard to justify. The whole world of electronics and computer controls is evolving so fast that systems change on a regular basis. The beauty of dealing with a company like Edelbrock is that they have techs who are in the trenches twisting wrenches on real cars, not just desk jockeys pushing theory. I've had some struggles with my ProFlow XT system, but they were mainly me not understanding the system, or overlooking corrections that are now obvious to me. I've got nothing on the line with Edelbrock, or any other supplier. I'm just pointing out that they have been looking at all of the systems out there now, assessing shortcomings and strengths based on owner feedback, and have developed theirs to springboard off of that experience. If I were building another one today and needed a total induction system I would likely be looking to Edelbrock.

Dave, that Hilborn system is killer in the looks department. I talked to a guy at the Arizona Good Guys that was running the Inglese system with the tall stacks - looks similar, but not as sexy as the Hilborn. I will say that they seem to be pretty proud of those units!!

Yeah, they are spendy-=---which is why I'll probably just keep dreaming about it and run either the Edelbrock or Fast intake!!!!!!!

Here's the Inglese - Inglese: EZ-EFI® Eight Stack Systems Uses either the FAST or Holley, I think?? Noticed Hilborn used FAST, too.
