[DeTomaso] intake maifold for throttle body injection

[Ken Green]

 I recall from somewhere that individual injectors are more beneficial for a single plane manifold than a dual plane, I think because they may feed each cylinder better, but that may mainly apply to an Edelbrock 351C Torker manifold which some thought did not perform well?  

Seems like that logic would not apply to a throttle body EFI?
I observed once that if you asked 3 mechanics the same question you would get 3 different answers, and was corrected that you would get 5 different answers.

 I might be thinking about finding another engine builder if I were you.

First, I would definitely ask for your builder’s reasoning for why he thinks a throttlebody is somehow different than a carburetor, sitting on top of an intake manifold.

They both are designed to create a proper delivery of air and fuel out of the throttle plates and into the intake manifold. 

Your builder’s opinion makes zero sense to me. I would love to hear his reasoning.

As for the blue thunder, realize there is the standard unit and the Pantera specific unit which allows the carburetor to set level in our cars

Good luck
