I forgot that Edelbrock came out with a new EFI system based with a Motorolla chip. Think entry level these run $2500 for just the ECU setup and I called Edelbrock about 6 months ago and if I remember correctly, I was looking at $4k for the ecu and distibutor, sensors and harness (no injectors, manifold, fuel rails, throttle body or fuel system).

I'm going for the DC&O crossram intake with 8 individual throttle bodies now, combined with megasquirt.

I'm pretty sure we could change the oil on the Z06, though.

DCOE is a type of weber carbuerator, this is a cross ram intake. Its of similiar design to the pierce manifold(I think) that came on the 377cc engines that were in the C2 grandsports. The grandsports had a 58 DCOE carb. You can buy fuel injection throttle bodies to take the place of the weber carbs



www.kinsler.com has some fun stuff.

That is definitely cool as ice...How do you filter the air going in the carbs or throttle bodies? Foam and wire mesh of some sort?
