What about the new MSD Atomic unit? That system requires 4 or 5 wires and seems to be priced with the others at about $2500.
Well, I didn't want to cloud the water any, I love all things MSD, thats the reason why I didn't mention them.
I've hooked up exactly 4 of these, no problems, and the 5th one is going on my Big Blue Oval Motor....its in-the-box sitting beside the motor on its stand.
Yes, theres alot less wires to contend with, the wires are shorter, better connectors, in my opinion, and as all things MSD, is rugged. Setup seems to be quicker, as these things go. The Electronics layout is nice. I like simplicity, good looks, with quality.
Theres alot of DIY EFI's out there, you gotta read, then decide which one you want. The more plugs you got to hook up and the more sensors, the more that could go wrong. You also have Edelbrock, TEC3, and alot of others that aren't mentioned. You guys must decide which ones are the ones that belong on your cars.
My preferences are EZ, Accel, and MSD, but not necessarily in that order. Don't look past the old Injector co's that are putting out some really good EFI products, too. Look over the whole field and look at your options, and decide accordingly.
Theres alot to be said for the EFI's, but on advantage is you don't have to continuely take the carb apart the change the architecture of the fuel system. Its done by a screen and a keyboard..
And for those living at high altitudes, some of these have atmospheric sensor inputs, so, it adjusts as altitude changes. Alot of them are expandable, so, it can grow with your car. Most can control activation of cooling fans and such.
But just let me say this before I go. These things are voltage sensitive. You have to have good clean grounds. Your charging system has to work correctly. And don't go cutting wires willy-nilly and extending them to get to your components, because you can change the resistance and therefore affect your system.
Hook everything up, out of the way of moving parts, crank it up, and test it. Then lay out your components to make sure your wiring reaches where it needs to go. Those electronic control boxes generate heat, so put it where it can receive cooling air.
If its got cooling fins on it, chances are, its needs some cooling air. And double and triple check your wiring. And these things are sensitive to clean fuel and alot of pressure....do as the instructions say.
