Our local Triumph guru, Nick Hanges, is in the process of installing the
TWM FI system on his TR6 (the "Mad Max" racecar).  I have seen the pieces
and they look well made.  As I understand it they are a bit pricey though.
But that is what Nick needs to manage the fuel requirements of his new
supercharger....

IIRC the cost is four figures...

A couple years ago I had inquired about the Holley TBI systems, but they
didn't make 4 cylinder units then.
