Re: newbie to efi.

Mike, head up a board to the DIY_PROM board. There is a ton of information in the Tuning Guide Book sticky. A lot of reading and studying is required at first. Mostly to get an understanding of the terms and what they mean.

I would get a good handle on tuning before swapping in the cam & intake. Otherwise you will be fighting both a bad running engine while trying to figure everything else out.

RBob.
