Hey, I resemble that remark.

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
