[DeTomaso] MSD Fuel Injection

Just watched an interesting you-tube video on MSD's Atomic fuel injection. Pretty slick! The system uses a throttle body injection set up and the housing looks very close to a double pumper carb and is claimed to fit any square bore intake and accept most factory and aftermarket air cleaners. The system does not require an in-tank fuel pump nor a return line as the pump is pulse regulated rather than constantly running. The system looks way easier to install and program than my old Holley Projection that I used on my old car, granted I wired my old car to use work with the TFI that were popular in 90s, cooling fans, AC kick down and speed sensor for deceleration. I know when I went to the Holley Projections set up my car went from damn carb to this is fun to drive.  I am sure there are some limitations to the set up but it sure looked like a great option to the challenges that some of us, ok me, have with having to constantly tune a carb. Living in the northwest I found I had to tune my carb three different ways to run well, today, tomorrow and a week from now. 

I believe FAST has had a similar set up but I think this MSD has some very distinct advantages for the average guy and looks a lot more period correct.
