Ollie,

The higher the HP you go for, the more you will want sequential. Larger HP means larger injectors which means shorter pulse widths at idle. With bank-to-bank or batch processing, you will be cycling the injector twice for every cycle which means even shorter pulse widths. The problem with shorter pulse widths is that you will be spending more time in the transient portion of the injector pulse cycle which will lead to idle issues. Since you are after a streetable combo, (as I am) I would reconsider sequential versus batch, especially if you're going to run A/C, vacuum assist brakes or an automatic. Otherwise, what you've read is true.

If you go sequential, you will have most of the stuff needed for ignition control. Unless they've added that, I don't believe the MS controls the ignition. Another thing that is worth the bucks, although pricey, is a wideband 02 sensor. You will make half of it back in saved dyno time.

My motor should go 550+ now that I've got the right injectors. I'm also running the Super RA manifolds (from RARE) so this number will come down some. I'm running power brakes, manual transmission and wanted it to idle no higher than 800 rpm and needed at least 10" of vacuum at idle. Jeff Kauffman spec'd the cam based on those requirements. I believe it could go 600 pretty easily as its got a moderate to mild hydraulic roller although idle would suffer some and my vacuum assist brakes might not work.

I went with the Victor because it packages nicely with my Ram Air pan. The TB top is only 1/4" higher than stock with the 3" tall Kinsler TB. The Super Victor also changes the plane of the carb base so making it work with your shaker might be a problem. If you go with the Victor, you will need Edelbrock's injectors. Double check the individucal injector part numbers if you do as they mispackaged the ones I originally received.

Sounds like we've got pretty similar goals. Hope this helps.
