I'd be skeptical of their claims even if it cost the same as a new Holley.

My prediction: company failure, and the few that actually got sold become novelty items at swap meets.

Just saw the pricing on thier website nevermind my pro systems carb ain't going anywhere!




For the money you can get several bolt on EFI units.

Carbs are pretty much dead tech, these guys don't have a prayer at a $2500 price point. Guys coming in to hotrodding now have little to no interest in dino age fuel mixers either.



I totally agree. $2,500 (or less) will buy you a complete, self-learning bolt-on EFI kit.


Ya, well, they might be dino age, but just remember, some of the fastest door slammers around AINT runnin fuel infection.



Well, then you can be the first to print up tee shirts that say, "INJECTION IS NICE, BUT I'D RATHER BE CARBED".

Well you have to hand to them for at least having the political good sense to name it after the first lady.

I think Nascar was the first to open up to injection
and other forms of racing are coming around... that
carb sure looks trick but I dont want trick, I want
function... I think I might be firing up my injection
today or tomorrow

As stated above, for the $ you can have Efi. They are 30 years to late.

I know of a guy that was running modern injection and bought one of these because he was promised more power.
Extremely atomized fuel isn't always the answer.
Some engines like larger droplet size. How much heat is in the manifold has an affect on it.

We went through a ton of testing to get the right
pattern on the injectors and where that pattern hits
and how much hits each zone of the pattern as well
as droplet size... plus I like that the engine talks
to the fuel system to correct it if needed

Wait till we get Direct injection into the racing mix, that will be even better fuel control than our EFI now.
