is anyone familiar with this system for 350's? a shop in my area is selling a complete kit including injectors and ECU for 500$.....im going to go take a look at it tommorow. If this kit is nice and no one here has any real complaints about it, im going to get it. Then maybe later this year build me a nice turbo setup:D

but if anyone has any pros or cons about this system i need all the info i can get...thanks

Why don't you just pick one up from a junk yard? Mid to late 80's LT1's used this setup I believe? Probably the same thing they're sellin just a helluva lot cheaper.

PS Why not try a non import biased website when asking technical questions about anything with more then 4 cylinders?

No, tuned port injection I believe. Try on performance-shop.com you may find more help there than here.

Yah, go find a wrecked IROC, though I don't know if the 305 and 350 used different systems so be careful.

Well tuned port injection is gonna be MUCH better than any TBI (Throttle Body Injection). Plus you are going to have a LOT more mods for a TPI rather than a TBI. Plus going TPI will give you a nice boost in HP.

The Fuel curve is not going to be correctly mapped... so I don't know if this is an ECU that can use a programmer or that needs custom chips burned. Cause you have to do one of the two.
