It would appear that you could parallel a couple of EWPs and still be a
good bit below the power drain of the EDWP.  It would require a stout
alternator to carry 15 - 20 amps extra, but nothing extraordinary.  Good,
solid backup battery would be and/or dual system would be important.  But
that requirement comes with the EFI system already.
Waiting for some specifics from the guy who actually DOES it .... Jim S.
