Default Anyone tried the Retrotek EFI?

I am thinking about installing EFI on my 70 fastback (Long way to go though). I found the retrotek EFI system and was wondering if anyone had tried this system. It loos like a carburetor and bolts onto a regular carburetor type intake manifold. Her is the manufacturer's website.

Kinda pricy but looks very cool.

I like the Nostalgia EFI 6-Pack!

I have been looking at them as well. But, I can hear it now, "You want to spend what, on what???".

That's a lot of money for throttle body injection.

You don't have to buy anything else. it comes with the computer. The price is cheep if you consider buying a EFI unit, intake, throttle body, injectors, rails, fuelpressure regulator and maybe a mass air unit depending on the computer. Now when you look at this then the Retrotek is not so bad. I like it a lot, even good for supercharging and it has a variable output so you can use a single line for the fuel pump (no return line).
