I'm a little confused, everybody is recommending everything but the MSD but nobody has said if something is bad about the MSD. On paper it looks pretty much like the other systems and the cost is comparable. The Fitech looks like a good deal until you have to add a fuel system for it to run. I'm going to run an external pump since I am using a factory gas tank. In tank pumps are very cool until they break and you have to drop the tank to replace it. They sell the Command Center fuel tank and pump which I think is ingenious but it costs $375. Once you factor that in it costs as much as any other system. The MSD can be set up as a returnless system which I like but when I got the new gas tank I also got a new 3/8 fuel line. I'm going to route it with the existing line and can use it as a return line. I'll need to read instructions about the return line requirements though, I think it needs a pressure regulator.
All that to say Can anyone tell me why not buy the MSD Atomic?
From what I have read, keep in mind I have not done this myself... I believe a returnless fuel system, and having the pump inline could cause some heating issues, and burns the pump out. I know its a lot of sticker shock, but have you looked into Tanks Inc? http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/p...ct_id=485/category_id=68/mode=prod/prd485.htmI'm a little confused, everybody is recommending everything but the MSD but nobody has said if something is bad about the MSD.

Edelbrock pro flo, Holley sniper best on the market. Fitech is good also but IMO requires a bit more tweaking than the pro flo. Do a search on Edelbrock pro flo 4 here on the forum. Member @Dennis H just installed a pro flo and is ecstatic about the product.
