An interesting article. Too bad they didn't get a
chance to run it on the dyno, and get some data, after
all that work.

Here is a site some of you may find interesting:

http://www.diy-efi.org

Do It Yourself Electronic Fuel Injection (and friends)

There is actually a group buy going on for Megasquirt,
a stand alone EFI controller. For about $100, you get
the circuit board and a bag of electronic components,
plus the software tools to customize the unit to your
application. Details here:

http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html

Some intersting stuff going on. Definitely not a
turn-key project, you have to really get involved to
make this work.

BTW, most of the projects on these sites are 
*not for profit*, so obviously there is NFI.

So if you are interested, please read the User
Agreement carefully.
