fuel injection swap

Heres my story. I am plannign a 350 swap for this spring. I would like to keep fuel injection but not nessesarily my tbi. What would be the most effective and cheapest way of doing this. I am selling my camaro to help fund this because i can only afford insurance on one of them plus i also have some money saved from my job. I am only 16, no obscene suggestions please. I was thinking maybe tpi or buy a tpi wiring harness and injectors off ebay then a stealth ram. Is there anyway i could use my tbi computer and maybe some kind of 4 barrel throttle body and individual injectors??....or maybe some kind of 4 barrel tbi with injectors in it? I am open to any suggestions, id just liek to keep the fuel injection part under $1000 if i can. Going over a slight bit is fine if need be but i would like a small shot of nitrous too so dun go too crazy

I'm in the same situation as you. I got a 1000cfm 4 barrel throttle body of ebay but it is for multi port injection. so im converting my tb car into a tpi car kind of i'm using the computer from a 90 - 92 tpi car that has speed density (no Mass air flow sensor) i'm gonna use a rpm vortec air gap intake though. they arent made for FI but they have nitrous bosses cast in so im gonna try to drill them to make fuel injectors sit in it. they do have an efi intake its the victor efi. ill find the p/n if your interested in that its already set up for injectors.
