m.p.f.i. conversion

saw this on edelbrock's site:

http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/mpfi_tbi_intro.html

as usual, they only make it for trucks and not fbodies.

summit sells it for around a grand. half the price of holley or accel setups. i've found one used .... can probably pick it up for 6-700.

what i find REALLY attractive about it is that it's smog legal. if you want to use f.a.s.t or accell dfi and remain smog legal, for example, you have to run a piggyback harness so the stock computer runs the smog control. that harness costs over 600.00 alone.

i wonder how they control 8 injectors with the stock computer?

i know the chip edelbrock provides is customized to the truck application. if it's the same type of chip, however, i wonder if the bin file could be modified like the stock ones?

does anyone know anything about these?

I'm pretty sure they usea piggy back module to controle the extra injectors. You reuse your stock throttle body with this setup as well so your not really getting rid of the restriction just makeing it easyier to feed fuel. I doubt you can do much with the chip either, kinda a patch tegether job in my opinion.

Its a PITA. The system WILL NOT work on our cars. Im not sure why, but thats what edelbrock claims. Do a search on this board. I had a few posts concerning this subject.
