Re: anyone buy from these guys before?

It seems reasonable as I don't see an actual listing for the manifolds or injectors. It looks like it just the electronic pieces in that kit. IF anything, it may be overpriced. I've never done this swap before though, so don't take m word for it.

Re: anyone buy from these guys before?

well I am going threw this right now, 94 LT1 out of a firebird, motor has been overhauled 700r tranny. but the underdrive system wont work for me so I'm switching my underdrive system to corvette system, more un expected bucks. Ive had my pcm programmed and wire harness done in one spot and the motor is in the frame, my opinion now its too cold to mess with the wire harness, maybe a few more weeks and the weather will warm up, but for some additional refrences you could look at www.hotrodlane.cc and you could look at bowtie overdrive and you could look at LT1 wiring these are the guys I have used oh and vette 2 vette salvage. and well about $$$$ additional cash but it sure looks sweet sitting in the frame right now. so I guess Im saying do some shopping around. If you contact hotrodlane (Street and Performance these guys are real cool they will send you a fantastic eye candy catalog and a 2 1/2 hour DVD on what they have with a few minute conversation about each item they carry. I found it a tad helpful

Re: anyone buy from these guys before?

Looking at the options, the one thing that sticks out in my mind is the ECM...

it's an extra $500 for the weather proof programmable version, and that will put you over the one thousand mark, and that's not considering the other options...

personally i wouldn't want something that i cant customize, or will be susceptible to the weather. This puts you closer in price to the Edelbrock and Holley systems that are proven and have a solid name to stand behind.

Just my $0.02

i like the factory systems, i have not seen anything good with the edelbrock and holley systems until you spend 200 hours fine tuning. try www.choiceautowiring.com he is awesome at efi. Hes done hundreds of swaps and they all work awesome.
