No,at the moment i'm not. I have been thinking alot about it lately! Their are some great systems out there and they are all costly. Depending on one's intended use, most systems on the market are horsepower limited. Sure, you can get an unlimited setup if you dont mind spending $ 4500 on a Wilson unit. You can set it up for a 450 horse small block or a 1300 horse big block. Of course, say you are building something to be a cruiser with a streetable hp level and dont plan on future engine mods that would increase power levels beyond what the system is designed for, you would be alright.

I've been looking for a fuelie setup for my 350. I've been most impressed with Edelbrock's Pro-Flo system. Good for up to 450 horse, but with the right know-how, one could install higher flowing injectors and raise the limit.

A local buddy of mine has a 67 Chevelle 396 with Holley Fuel Injection,its his daily driver.runs smooth,very crisp throttle response,improved his mileage,probably in about 10 years the difference is gas mileage money will have paid for it,On something daily driven id do it if money was allowed.I have a 1989ish 454 intake,unless i tossed it already.Id rather go aftermarket than piece together a used setup from a late model smogged 454 you gotta screw with to make run right on a low smogged 396-402-468 or something modified.

Yes, a Force FI system. Programable in 500 rpm increments from 0 to 15000. 1000 cfm throtle body.

I cut a 1/2 second off of my best ET with a carburetor and picked up 10 mph on the big end. I get 16 mpg average with A/C. It starts every time in any kind of weather. I love it.
