Carbs are very complex and expensive and time consuming for the average person to tune.

Fuel injection isn't exactly simple or cheap and to tune the systems properly it appears there's more than one person making good money tuning these 'self-learning ready to run' systems.

In regards to reliability, durability, and weight savings I like what this 'carb' design brings to the table compared to current carbs and constantly evolving fuel injection systems. It could be what Apple is to computing in terms of user friendly function.

The unknowns:
Is the throttle response is bland or like a light switch?
How smooth is the transition between circuits?
How much impact does one click of an adjuster have on the fuel delivery?
How fuel efficient is it on the street and track?

Time and testing will tell. Personally I hope the company is a success whether I can afford one or not.
^^Agree^^
The last time I remember someone trying to completely revolutionize carbs was the Predator. Seemed like a good idea but I have never seen one actually working on a vehicle.
They will definitely sell a few...
