I believe,None of those sysems have any knock protection. I would rather have carbs with proper instrumation than have efi with no knock detection because if any piece in the system goes bad you have a trashed motor.One fuel injector bites the dust, time for a rebuild. If one map sensor bits the dust, time for a rebuild. Just to many pieces to an efi system not to have knock protection.

I have been using the Holley MPI system for about 7 years. It starts better, quicker, faster and better fuel economy. If you make changes to the engine you get out the laptop and retune. No need to change jets or carbs. Be sure you get the wideband O2 option, much better than narrowband. I use the DUI distritutor with electronic control. The timing, fuel maps, startup, accelaration, ect... are all adjustable. No soot on the transom and no exhaust fumes from the exhaust when you start it up. They are expensive, I have about 4k in mine with wideband, upgraded 42lb injectors and AN hoses and fittings. I have seen the kits in CP performance, Eddie Young also deals in Holley, I am sure he could help you out.

I just switched to EFI from carb. No more pumming the throttle to start these. Just turn the key and let the computer take over. I am making 685HP and 720LBS of TQ with my 604CI EFI set up. I also have one extra computer in you need one.

I now have 3 guys ready to switch over to fuel injection from carbs. I have been on line to holley and elerbrock talking to them about there systems. One has a kit to have throttle body and one has multi port with a new intake. My guestions are has anyone try to do this? Is it worth the switch? Two of them are charter guys and need the better fuel economy. Any info would really be great. thanks again dan

It is possible to get a bit more torque from Port injection due to injector timing. It is more expensive though.

I've seen good and bad from both....lots of factory EFI boats soot the transom up bad..run weird at certain RPMs, some work great no issues...but have had carb boats run great thru out and do well on fuel...so ???? getting it dialed in is the key...now just figure out which is easier..

You might look at the Fast, EZ tune and XFI 2.0 with self tune. http://www.fuelairspark.com/
