Jeremy,

FWIW, go with the carb.  Based upon your questions, your learning curve will
be steep and expensive.  Best of all the carb will make just as much
horsepower for 1/10th the cost.

Bottom line, EFI is for factories and technogeeks who like a serious
challange.  The cost/performance equation is all in favor of an Edelbrock
AFB and a Performer manifold.

thnx, jv.

Hi everyone,


I'm gearing up to do a small block chevy V8 motor swap into my car, and I 
have been thinking about fuel delivery options.   Initially, I thought I 
would use a carb, due to simplicity, low cost, and high performance 
potential.  However, EFI is much more attractive from a drivability and 
tuning perspective, theoretically at least.   It seems to me, and I am very 
green with this, that using a stock TPI, or TBI setup is highly expensive 
and difficult for a non-stock motor.  Am I way off here?   What is the most 
cost effective EFI set up I could put together that would make some decent 
power?    I don't need to make things emmissions legal on this vehicle.     
Any comments much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeremy
