     This is great, common replies to the main system is much easier than 
     answering everyone seperately.
     
     First of all, for those who don't know, a HQ Monaro (4 door) is 
     probably the equivalent of a 73' Camaro, in fact I think GMH may have 
     got a lot of design help from GM.
     
     Anyway, I haven't fitted it yet, but hope to have it all done by mid 
     Jan 96 (have to wait for my holidays).
     
     I chose the Wolf 3D system, basically because it was cheaper than the 
     others like Motec, Haltec, Injec, EMC, etc. etc. etc.
     
     They basically all have the same features, fuel mapping, ignition 
     mapping (usually only on the more expensive versions), throttle 
     injector cut off when cranking, accelerator enrichment, barometric 
     pressure compensation, injector current control, air temp 
     compensation, MAP or TPS sensing, cranking fuel rate, rev limiter, 
     cold enrichment, staged injection, turbo facility, post start 
     enrichment, EFI pump shut down.
     
     Basically, unlike most others where a lap top is required to program 
     the computer, this system has a remote hand piece with 4 line 16 char 
     LCD and a number of buttons that lets you do all the programming.  
     Multiple programs can be set up so that you can instantly change to 
     them while you drive by selecting a new program from the hand piece.  
     The hand piece can be removed if not required, but it does display a 
     number of useful things while you drive, RPM, injector pulse width, 
     air temp, water temp, mixture indicator, throttle position, manifold 
     vacuum, voltage, etc.
     
     I don't think it is any better than the other brands, apart from the 
     analogue systems, except that is is cheaper.  All the features are 
     basically the same.  I hope this has explained everything.

     I'm currently building a Chev 350 for a HQ Monaro.  After a long 
     search I came up with the standard TPI system for the 85-89 Camaro's, 
     not only does this look good, but a 2nd hand system it's a lot cheaper 
     than any aftermarket system, and its also better than a throttle body 
     system.  All you need is a computer to run it, and there are lots of 
     those around ranging from AU$800 - AU$2500 depending on what you want. 
      I chose a AU$1400 system that allows for fuel and ignition mapping 
     (then I can always change ignition system) from a remote hand piece, 
     this way its easy to program the system.
     
     All up you can do this for about AU$3000, but if you are in the US you 
     are laughing since you don't have to pay import duty and freight on 
     everything.  hope I have been of help.

Hello everyone. I'm an electriacl engineer and my main hobby is my corvette.
I want to drop fuel injection on it. I haven't looked too much at after market 
stuff for this area so what kind of efi kits are out there that are good.
     
I'm looking for something that is adjustable and that I could re-program 
once I get into it a little more. I'd also like to keep it under a couple 
of grand.
     
What are some options?
     
Thanks in advance for any help.....
