no problems mate most people use aftermarket management for ease, and more safer in the fueling department, you could use mfi but really wouldnt be worth it

I'v seen a zetec on mfi with a dizzy. Its not worth the effort tbh. Go zvh, but as said you'll only get 220bhp max and it will blow up

ditto that- Can machine the head/mod cam, or even use a belt driven dizzy. either way its wank for a new build. But trial and error cant be knocked
