I don't agree with the posts about EFI. There is going to be an initial cost but after that it should be smooth sailing. You are going to pay somebody to educate you and hopefully you learn to do the tune on your own or it creates a crew position. But 3-400,000 dollars is way out of line. Where did those figures come from? Exxon-Mobil?

From other programs I have been involved with, unless the sanctioning boby specs the ecu, throttle bdy nad injectors you can spennd that much easily (Bosch, PacTel and other ecus. It is very easy to get lost on a injector development progam and spend up to $1,600.00 ea (thats $25,600 per engine for 2 or 3 hp) on injectors not only on spray patterns but also targeting them and what if you use 2 per cylinder??? Thats 16 per engine then you get into the overhead ( for cooling the charge) vrs the injector spraying into cylinder. Unless you have been involved in program like this you just don't know how much $$$ you can spend. You will hneed a electrical eng and a enginer that can write the codes and understands these ECU's. Most of the Bosch ECUs have to be done in German ( the base code). This will not be a retuned stocker.
