Did a EFI Fiat X1/9 once, was spectacular.  Was back in like 80/81.
Blew lots of head gaskets getting it right.  Used a Bosch ecm, and
wasn't very friendly.  
  Mind sharing what you're tinking about.
First consideration is basic engine design.  4 head bolts around 
combustion chamber, not too much fun, 5 better, 6 best.  
My pals 436 IH has 6, and we run 60 PSI of boost on it (diesel).

The electronics for making it trick if bought retail, get expensive.
