I got a enderle mechanical injection manifold for a 308. I was even thinking efi with it but it will cost $$$, I only drive my cars 200 kms a year. When I was about 18 yrs old, I seen a slr5000 with mechanical fuel injection and said I want one. Another reason is when do you ever see mechanical injection and stacks on a street car.

Saabs also did this. It would be easier to use fuel ine and injectors tapped into standard manifold and run a aftermarket computer. not huge benefit doing much else. Infact if you look at the reasearch Holden did they even went Electric when it came to the VK, why nto use there reasearch team rather than reinvent the whee...
