[DeTomaso] Pantera EFI question from car on Hemmings.com

[P. Rimov]

Although it does not have the Wow factor of the cross ram, and may offer a 
little bit less performance than a multiport set up the Holley Commander TBI 
EFI has really been nice. Pretty easy to tune after reading the manual a 
couple of times and for about $2700 including the Wide band O2 and TFI 
distributor conversion I think it was well worth the cost for EFI for the 
car.
