Edelbrock EFI

[Tom Sharpe]

I got mine for $1100 from Lopers in Phoenix.   The only problems with it are 53
psi fuel pressure instead if 45 (3.5 atm vs 3) 30 lb injector rating (really 24
lb injectors), fuel pump only good for 450 hp and the system is 4 channel
sequential (4 pairs). The system is easy to tune unless you run a huge cam  with
narrow centerlines, then you will have fun tuning the idle.  it's an HC11
processor and 256K eprom, so you can make your own chip. I'm running 30 lb
injectors and a Trex pump, 475+ hp and idles at 950 with an automatic.   I
recommend it for beginners--- expensive but all the pieces are there - pick
350c.i. and an edelbrock cam (and their heads or equivalent) and it's assemble
and go.   TWS.
