Using OEM (GM) ECM

[Paul Tholey]

Vance,

        I am working on installing a custom TPI system on a 360 Chrysler
(currently cerebrated).  I would appreciate any recommendations you would
have.  The system is as follows.

Intake is a custom sheet metal crossram style, modeled after the viper.

The ecm is GM 1227730.  I have access on the Penn State campus to burn my
own EPROM, but I am not sure what I am doing here.  It sounds as if you
could help from what was said here:

The injectors will probably be out of an 87 Grand National.

The motor has highly modified swirl port heads.  The cam is 268 duration,
454 lift with a centerline of 112.  The rest of the motor is stock.

The fuel system currently begins with a fuel sump in the tank, ran to a
Holley blue pump, modified to run at 19 psi with an output of 160 gph.  The
line is 1/2 inch aluminum which goes to 2 Holley regulators, from which each
feeds a float bowl of the 850 double pumper.  I would like suggestions on
converting this system over for FI.  I figured I could use the factory fuel
line as the return.

Thank you,

Paul Tholey
