Question Updates Please

It has been 3 years since anyone has made any comments on the EFii electronics ignition & fuel injection system. I am looking a a Titan IOX-340 engine. I'm comparing it to the Vans XIO-320. The 320 is rated at 160hp and the Titan 340 says 188hp (using premium Mogas) The 340 is more expensive but in the big scheme of things (total price of completed build over the expected life of flying the RV9A). Any updates? I need to order my finishing kit and have some decisions to make.

I have been running my newly minted RV10 I0540 w/Roberts dual ignition and electronic fuel injection for about 80 hours now. The motor is extremely smooth and I cannot yet attest to fuel burn. We are still trying to perfect a better start when cold, but otherwise I am very, very happy with the system, plus Robert understands service-he will take care of you.

Default EFII System

I installed it 20 months ago, and love it. I can now fly inverted acro, and have seen noticable fuel economy improvements and more power, up to a high of 75RPM higher ground static. Probably averages 50 to 60RPM higher though.
