cost effective efi

trying to build a 383 for my blazer ( i know i am on a camaro forum, sorry). i am looking into running a tpi setup or maybe an after market efi kit. i have never put fi on an engine before so i figured i would get some expert advise before starting. i cant think of a better place for tpi advice. things to consider are performance, ease of installation, and money. any help would be great. thanx

Fast EZ efi is your best bet.

Re: cost effective efi

My choice would be :

pro products single plane with their inj rails least cost

injectors from FIC rebuilt and less cost

A Edel neck to a Ebay LS TB unit less cost

ECU would be EBL dynamicefi.com best for the $$$ and you can sell later as in demand.

Painless perf for the wire harness.

not sure if custom efis still sells complete kits with used GM components? Same for Howell

Tell your neighbor I've got a motor to put it on! I'll even pay the shipping!

Re: cost effective efi

i would go with the stealth ram + add TPI retrofit harnes from http://www.fuelinjectionconnection.com/gpage.html (i use one and it is excellent quality, 100% stock colors on wiring etc.), then retune stock ECM or go Megasquirt with adaptor board

best regards
