Edelbrock MPI Questions
Ok I have seen a couple of vettes in here that have the Edelbrock MPI system hooked up, well today I finally bought one off of ebay for a decent price that I could afford. I have a couple of questions, where did you mount the electric fuel pump? Also where did you mount the Computer? And if you are using headers which side did you put the oxygen sensor along w/ which cylinder? What kinda of performance gains did you get, I am hoping that I get that touchy throttle responsle like my dad's Chevy Truck (when you punch that thing is picks up) it seems like the vette just kinda has a hessitation before it decides to go. And I know this is for the parts for sale section but now I will probaly have a new Edelbrock 650 carb for sale less than 3k miles since I ran a Holley for a long time, and Performer intake that is just a little dirty around the water neck from and accidental leak one time, and a new HEI Accel Distubitor w/ less than a 1000 miles since I just put it in before I lost my license. :mad Man that sux not being able to drive the vette, but the cops don't know I am maken it faster.

Try Zwede's home page, lots of how too's. Yes, to the faster throttle response. The firs time you drive it you will need to watch out for the car in front of you.

Re: Edelbrock MPI Questions (DCBStingray)
Ive got both the Holley 950 Commander and Edelborck systems in my Vettes. EFI won't get you more power - it gets yopu better driveability and better mileage and emissions IF you take the time to program it right.
:smash: Make sure you DO NOT USE automotive crimp type connnectors. Always solder and heatshrink all your electrical connections.
:smash: Spend the time to program your steady state "open loop" fuel curve BEFORE you work on the accelleration modifiers. This will take 20 - 40 hours!
If you don't believe me talk to Zwede.
:seeya If you have any specifc questions drop me an e-mail.
Back to active duty!
