SFI for 18* heads

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has a quick link to some fuel injection systems for 18 degree heads.
I ahve been looking around but have not found much.

Thanks:hail: :hail: :hail:

Motec, FAST, Speedpro...

All should work fine on 18* heads.

Friend of mine w/ a GN w/ edlebrock 18* Heads uses a Motec ECU and just ran a 8.57 @ 169 on a 1.4 (soft lauch) 60' lol

So it should workout for you...

any fuel injection system will work with 18* heads......**** you could use the stock GM stuff if you wanted

The problem would be the intake....you would need to have a 18* intake converted to fuel injection

hogan's is an option, but not necessary. Get a cowl hood and a normal carb style 18* intake and convert it, it will be cheaper

i had a friend do the conversion and milling for me

Cost me $350 for the conversion and milling plus i supplied the fuel rail and bungs which were $60 total

You could run a 4 barrel type EFI throttle body on top and have no issues with the stock computer

i am running an aftermarket FAST system with wb02 sensor for my twin turbo motor
