Best system to use

I'm in the process of building a fuel injection 385 cid race motor and was wondering what is the best system to use. I realize that this is a pretty general question but.... I'm lookin for the pro's and cons of the systems and why you satified with your system. Thank's I appreciate it.

You might want to give a little more info than that. Not only on the engine but for the hardware/software as well. For example, what type of datalogging do you want? Would you like something that can support a WBo2? SEFI? DIS? Inputs/outputs? MAF/MAP or both? How much $? If I ever went with an aftermarket system it would be Electromotive. It seems to me they are the most flexible but I am speaking from reading mag. articles and their literature and not from direct experience. YMMV.

I'm looking at being user friendly yet still be adjustible enough that I can make fine adjustments. I don't know anything about the Electromotive set up. The engine is 385 cid, forged bottom end, 4 bolt main, 11.5:1 CR, AFR 220 Comp ported heads, solid roller cam with 1.6 rr, Super Ram intake and a 2 stage nitrous system (plate/fogger). It has a TH400 with a 4000 stall. As for the system I'm looking for? I don't know the full specifics on all the systems out there. I was planning on seeing what eveyone is running and look at those to see what they offered. Then make my descision. Hope this helps a little. Thanks again.

Your going to need to do more homework then posting a guestion here to make an informed decision.
You have FUEL (Speedpro), Haltech, Electromotive, SDI, Accel, Holley, Autoromics, Motec, and all have their strong points and weaknesses. And within most brands they have serveral variants. My advise is search out some websites, and some co.s offer free demoware, and see what you like best.

Hard to do too much homework, when you might be looking at $5,000 to get what you want or need.
