Hi Derrick -=C2=A0Looks like a cool setup - an EFI that looks like an old s=
chool carb, although you do have to hide the electronics cable somehow.=C2=
=A0 Please keep the group informed about the outcome of your installation.=
=C2=A0 BTW, list price is about $2500.

So which is a better solution, a Holley 1848 (465cfm) or an Edelbrock 1403 =

Is anybody using a FiTech system?=C2=A0 I have a friend who is using the Fi=
