Fitech GO efi system

Has anyone used the Fitech GO efi system on a stock 12a? I'm thinking of going that way I stead of a carb now. Here is the kit I found, just wondering it would even work

if not this one, is there any reasonably priced efi kits that would work?

I've seen builds on this forum as well as Facebook with the FITech or Holley Sniper kits. They work, but you need to run a spacer so all carb barrels (and the MAP sensor inside them) are exposed to vacuum from both rotors. This tends to degrade what little midrange torque these motors have to begin with.

For that cost you could add a better-than-Nikki carb and a header and be much better off in the end I would think.

For sure, anyone converting to EFI isn't doing it as a cost savings measure. You gain flawless cold starts (if the kit comes with a IACV), better tuning if/when you boost and possibly a little better fuel economy.
