EFI for chevy 400
I'm in the process of designing a build up from a chevy 400 block that i have in my garage, and ive decided that i want to go with some sort of electronic fuel injection. The general concept behind this motor is for it to make ~ 500 HP and possibly have either a turbo (maybe 2) or a supercharger. many of the aftermarket EFI setups that you see through JEGS or SUMMIT have a limit of about 400 to 500 HP. I dont want my injection to be my bottleneck if i decided that i need more power. I'm basically looking for any, and all, suggestion on how to approach this, or setups that are known to handle this kind of power.

well... best way to make a good 500 would be some type of HSR or mini ram. maybe some type of converted carb set up would be good too. Its all up to how much $$$ you wana dish out.

If you don't want the intake setup to be an issue, then look at a single plane intake with a billet TB on top....but it depends on your actual HP goals....
The stealth ram is nice, but not able to be matched to a 1206 Fel Pro gasket....and most large port heads are matched to that gasket...
Not that that stopped me, but I am not using it to its potential, that is for sure....
But the key is to figure out the HP goal first and build your combo from there...
