I've sat back and watched one of my good friends throw THOUSANDS of dollars into an EFI set-up for his 89 Camaro. The engine, trans and rear were gears were done here. It runs mid-12's at 108-110mph. The 355 SBC uses a tuned port set-up (aftermarket) with big injectors, aftermarket fuel pump, computer modifications and on board laptop to control all of it. It still gives the owner FITS on occassion in the cold run mode but runs fine once warmed up. Mileage is good, and it flat ROCKS at the track. However, we run just as quick with similiar engines in similiar weight cars with traditional intakes and carbs for about $3000 less......Cliff
