Well, my .02 cents worth.........
EFI is the way to go for the street, and Edelbrock is #1 (in my book).
I run their Pro-Flo Multi-Point system and it works beautifully.
This is not a THROTTLE BODY, is is MULTI PORT injection. It has a 1000 cfm intake horn.
I added a lot of power and my Vette is as sharp and strong as any street car I have ever been in.
Of course, I also have a cam that works, along with the proper gears.
The right cam is crucial.
The Edelbrock EFI is a Speed Density system. That means the fuel-flow, spark advance and other functions are determined in most part from the critical values of engine speed and intake manifold air density. This density info is gained from the MAP Sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure)
Accordingly, the Calibration Module displays values in Hg (Inches of Mercury, MV (Manifold Vacuum), since most people are familiar with this measurement as an indicator of relative load; with high vacuum at idle and light loads and low vacuum at heavy loads and WOT (Wide Open Throttle).
This type system is very easy for the layman to understand and it is easy to fine tune. The computer to make changes is a hand held unit and is supplied with the package. It simply sits along side you on your seat. Easy to make changes right there at a stop light.
On a 350 with a few choice mods, figure on over 400 HP. Thats a hell of a bang for the buck. The "buck" is about $2,000.00 for the base setup. That's cheap, (in my book), for the gain in performance.
Now I figure I am pushing close to 500 HP. I have some trick headwork done to my Brodix heads. Serti valve job and port work.
My Vette has run 12.3 @ 107 mph without pushing it too hard.
Now wait 'till I hook up the Nitrous, there is a serious street car waiting to happen and I can't wait to see this thing turn 11's
