I think I answered my own question. I found this website, do you think these are full FI systems?

Talk to Ken at FIRST Injections. He has a great unit, larger than the stock plenum, intake, etc... He can set you up pretty well. Go ahead and use me as a reference... These are gfreat units..He can also paint, chrome, etc.. I had my plenum done in Torch Red, all wiring harnessses etc need

If you go with a TPI set up, whether stock or FIRST, you may want to look at a serpentine set up as well.

I chose a new FIRST system since I did not want a junkyard kit... I cannot sya if a junkyard kit would have been cheaper, but the performance and looks I wanted were not of the junkyard variety....

Good Luck... I should have new pics of the TPI set up soon.... I am in the process of the serp set up right now, and will get pics of the whole deal afterwards.

Good Luck...

Here is the link to Ken's FIRST Site:

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at a kit from edelbrock that supposedly comes tuned from the factory. The entire kit is about $3K (chrome). I'm just trying to get some info for my mechanic (cousin). Carbs aren't a problem, this is beyond my skill level. thanks again :thumbs:
