Default Help Choosing FI!!!!!

I have choosen to go with a brand new crate engine from ATK High Performance Engines.

GM 350 Crate Engine 408 HP

http://high-performance-engines.com/...duct_Code=HP34

I want to go with Fuel Injection. What is the best setup to go with? The most inexpensive?

Did anyone do fuel injection on an engine such as this?

Thanks,
Julius

This might be the easiest, and considering it's all included in the kit, it might end up being the cheapest too.

I have a GM Performance 350/330hp crate engine installed in one car (not a Vette), and had an Edelbrock Pro-Flo RPM EFI mounted on it. I haven't any experience with other makes, but this one is outstanding.

Hey Julius,

I tried calling you, but you were not there. Funny seeing this The Edelbrock Pro Flow is the way to go. They were suppost to release there new kits this month, I will have to check on that. Stay away from the Holley Commander......not user friendly at all! I have heard great stuff about the Mass Flo Efi. I have not used it personally, but no tuning sounds user friendly enough!

Give me a call when you get a chance

i have a mass flo efi it will fit under hood [my 80 L82 ] if you buy it you have to let chris from mass flo know its for a corvette, he has to mill the manifold down half inch you can't use your stock air cleaner, system is very easy to install and it is plug and play you have to adjust your idle speed and timing and thats it the computer learns as you drive, system was expensive around $3600 for every thing $3000 for f.i. system $600 for fuel system look at my avatar pic

What is the best part of having EFI on a 405 hp 350? Will I really see a difference?

With a carbureted 405 hp small block, you'll be able to smoke the tires. With EFI, you'll not only smoke the tires, but turn them blue in the process and do it faster!

That's an exaggeration of course, but you'll love EFI.
