WOW!!! Pretty impressive!  |
Except that you are still asking wet fuel to make it through the intake manifold evenly to eight cylinders with different length and configuration intake runner paths. The advantage of multiport fuel injection is that the only thing going through the intake manifold is air, with the fuel being injected right above the intake valve. If you're really looking for the advantages of EFI, I think multiport is still the way to go.
You also need to do a certain amount of plumbing and fuel tank modifications (EFI engines don't like interruptions in fuel supply).
I'm a big fan of EFI (have it on my SBC), but think that some of the "shortcuts" may compromise a little too much for not a big monetary savings.
Now a true self tuning multiport system? I'm all over that!
