Megasquirt in a 72 1.7L 914 ???, Need advice Options

[rotary914]

I'm new to this list........ So Hello

Well - the title says it all.
I will probably keep my 1.7L for at least another year and I want to replace the 33 year old F.I. with something new.
I'll probably get new injectors too.

Has anyone converted to a Megasquirt on a 1.7L??
Any significant improvements over a properly running stock F.I. system??
Any negatives??
Easy to tune (I have a LM-1 Wideband meter)??
Any particular megasquirt model??

Any recommendations??

thanks

Anyway, I've been thinking of building an engine for a long time and would love to get away from the stock cam. The way carbs have skyrocketed in price leads me to believe that Megasquirt is the way to go. Kit Carsen FI would be nice but at $1500 it's kind of pricey.

From what I understand, no one is going to see the Kit Carlson system anytime soon, for the worst possible reasons. Kit's apparently having family problems and isn't proceeding with the systems right now.

IMHO, this summer, when the MS v3 systems are out, there will be little reason to use anything else. They're adding a lot of nice stuff there, and doing fuel and spark with much better reliability (esp. in tach input) will be pretty easy.
