Hi Chris--

>You have not sadi whether you are planning to go TBI or TPI, but it
sounds

---------------------------------
you missed it, I am wanting Tuned Port.

>The most economical way would be to do TBI with a 747 GM computer.
-------------------------------
Not really looking for economical, but below $3500.  Found Accel priced
at $3018 total, including software.

>offerings are not bad, but, for sure, shop hard for the best price on
it.
------------------------------
Do they offer the SupeRam stand-alone, no computer?  I would like that.

The

-----------------------------------
I have heard good stuff about it, but they don't sell a manifold system,
do they?

that

-----------------------------------
Curious, could you say why?

Kinda hard to say, to me, not really.
Specs:
Crane Hydraulic Roller.  RPM range is 2500-6000
Degrees Duration @ .050 Int./Exh.= 226/234
Degrees Advertised Duration Int./Exh. 288/296
Degree Lobe Separation= 112
Open/Close @.050" Cam Lift Int./Exh.= 640/540
Lash Hot Int./Exh. =.000/.000
Gross Lift Int./Exh.= .587/.610
economy is not a concern, especially with the aerodynamics of a brick.
----------------------------------
>anyway, I would be inclined to go with MSD injectors--MSD (same people
as

easier to

big
