Super Ram question

I have a friend that has a accel super ram set up that he want's to sell me.. He only has the plenum, runners, base and injectors for it. Question is, i know the chip will have to be recalibrated and i'll need a different fuel pump,but i was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me:
1)will my ECM work
2)do i need another distributor
3)will my tpi harness work
4)would my stock throttle body work
5)would i need to get new Oxygen, MAP, IAT ,TPS and IAC sensors

It was a direct bolt on for my mass air car. No troubles for me. Longer cold crank time due to eliminating the cold start valve. But it is fine.

All your current sensors and throttle body and harness and dizzy will work. You might want a larger TB if you have other mods, but the existing will prolly be fine!

you can use all the parts you listed 1-5. it will also work with your stock fuel pump and chip

I also don't have the long cranking problem, but then I'm playing with a DIY custom prom as well.

Mine seldom cranks over a second or two before it fires.

Still a little longer when the engine is really warm, but I'm working on it......

Okay i figure i am going to look for a set up come Jan/Feb.
So what you're saying is i can use my 23 lbs injectors w/ this set up? I thought super ram would need at least 30 to 36 lbs injectors. Which in that case your stock chip wouldn't work.

an intake swap alone does not warrant larger injectors. You would have to be doing more drastic mods than that to need larger than your factory 22 lb(350 right?) injectors. I've seen plenty of stock injectors on cars making up to about 400 hp.

HMMM, I wonder why mine does the same? I never had a cold start injector to begin with.
