	Ford Motorsports  sells a kit to convert it to mass air.

	I've been wondering which manufacturer has the best engine management
system? 

	Ford claims that their hardware is the best.  I've heard that GM
has the best software but my vote would be for SAAB .  They have a system
that lets them use them use the spark plug as a knock sensor. They run a
little current through it on the exhaust stroke and can tell from the
resistance of the air how complete the combustion was and weather knock
occurred.  They have a 32 bit system and electronic boost control as well.

	Who else should be on this list?
