Thank you - and it was not initially easy! It took a year complete my first swap - there was a lot of trial and error and oh sh'*& moments!

I have not tried MSD Automic EFI, but from published specification it appears to be gear-head friendly system. Just be aware that some 'plumbing' will be required. Getting fuel safely to the engine is a key concern.

As for boosted applications - I would pose this question to MSD technical support. It is a speed density system so as long as 2 or 3 BAR MAP is used and SA, AE and PE tables are expanded to cover boost areas it should be able to handle boost applications.
