Hi,
      As for the EFI for a high winding 4 cyl...I believe at this present 
time there is nothing inexpensive on the market(but I gotta look in my garage 
I think I've got one of those haltech motorcyle units out there)....do you 
have any way to datalogg the fuel curve????? Are you going lean or rich on 
the top end??? are you too rich in the mid range and ok on the top? These can 
all be cured by using one or multiple high speeds with differing jets and 
springs....the fuel curve on a mechanical injection setup(especially on 
alcohol) can be made to be pretty accurate....you just gotta get the fuel 
curve and the air curve to match...it does make for some fun plumbing...glad 
to help if I can....

    First I need to fill you in on a little background of where I'm at.  
 I build race cars called Mini-Sprints.  Basically they are small versions of 
 a 410 Outlaw Winged Sprinter.  We run an Open Wheel Midget chassis with 
 motorcycle engines, and a wing.  There are many different classes, i.e. 
 600cc, 750cc and 1200cc open (or outlaw).  We run the 1200cc open class in 
 Wisconsin.  I presently run two different engines. 1 car is using a 1991 
 Suzuki Katana 1100 engine, bored to 1204cc, 13/1 compression, Dyna 2000 
 ignition, with 50mm Hilborn Fuel Injection, running on Methanol.  The second 
 car is running a 1996 Suzuki GSXR1100W, bored to 1127, 12/1 compression, 
Dyna 
 2000 ignition, Kinsler Fuel injection and also on Methanol.
    We all run the same basic fuel injection systems,  .086 - .095 jet, 
 9AS nozzles at 20lbs fuel pressure.  I would like to run an EFI system, but 
 the cost of purchasing a Kinsler or other system is outrageous, $5000-$7000. 
 
 EFI is the way to go, and very few people are running it.  I need 
information 
 on building my own.  Where do I start?  What do I need?  Presently I run a 
 crank driven pump.  Do I need to go to an electric with a EFI system?  I 
need 
 better fuel control in mid range and high rev's.  Very hard to do with 
 conventional fuel injection.  Any suggestions on starting points for me?  
 Also the engine rules say, "naturally aspirated engine".  That rules out 
 turbo.  But I can set it up ram air.  What would that do for me?
