But not when you add a proper fuel delivery system (tank, pumps, lines, vents), electrical, and programing equipment.

What's the cost comparison between this carb, and a Holley based carb with all the different pieces to properly tune it and time to do so?

Exactly.

I'm running a Holley Ultra HP 650 and you can start to get quite a collection of brass. More important is the time it takes to change it out. The HP also appears to be relatively sensitive to atmospheric change.

That's why I'm really curious to hear about this design and it's tunability.

Yes........I know, efi is self learning.

Another thing to mention, if you went with a different, more powerful engine, you're back at square one again with the Holley based carb, needing a larger carb. Even with fuel injection, you'll have to upgrade your injectors and throttle body.

Being a variable cfm carb like the Predator carbs, you can just reuse the same carb, and just readjust it for the new engine, to a limit of course.

Both are going to need a fuel delivery system, tank etc. I still don't see the end pricing being that different. And with one you still have a carb,

That's the system I'd go for if I was.......this month. EFI is changing as fast as smart phones right now.

Don't forget the other accessories that add $500-$700 plus a few installation hours:
526-1 Holley EFI Fuel System Kit
526-2 Holley EFI Fuel System Kit
526-3 Holley EFI Fuel System Kit
526-4 Holley EFI Fuel System Kit
553-100 Universal Gauge - Black Bezel
553-101 Universal Gauge - Chrome Bezel
558-420 Terminator EFI Input/Output Kit
554-102 100 PSI Stainless Pressure Sensor
