need help, decided to upgrade tpi

i recently said that i wanted to convert tpi to carb, but after thinking about it i'm going to upgrade the tpi. I'd like to get the holley stealth ram intake and plenum and bolt it on a 383 stroker. MY question is can i still use my stock wiring harness and ecm or do i have to also go with the commander setup? I don't know anything about tuning or chips so any advice? I rather use the wiring and ecm already in the car and just get the right chip to replace with.

Yes, you can use your factory TPI harness, as the Holley Stealth Ram is a direct replacement for the stock TPI setup. New PROM, injectors, and AFPR, and your good to go. My cousin did this years ago, it's a good upgrade. Here is my buddy Rob's website, Click here....

You can definitely go with the entire setup, but most guys just buy the intake alone, then buy the necessary components afterward as a means of saving a few bucks. Aftermarket rails, and injectors can be had for very cheap nowadays, so people avoid buying the whole HSR setup upfront. If your new to tuning, and your in New York, ask Carmen over at the vettedoctors, Click Here, to burn you a PROM (chip) after you get the engine reassembled. He is the only guy I would recommend in New York, because I know his work very well....
