Ken,
    No bowls, so no floats at all!!  It does use a bypass regulator, so 
you have to have a return line or a swirl pot.  Of course it needs 20+ 
psi at the input of the regulator, so an EFI pump is necessary.  You can 
run the system closed-loop, too.  The only disadvantage of throttle-body 
EFI is that the manifold is still wet, but thats the same as a carb.  
Cold-start will be a million times better.
James J.
