Re: bad ass chevy efi conversion
nothing really "bad-ass" about an edelbrock TBI EFI conversion.
Now, if you had fabbed up a sheet metal intake with direct port nitrous injection and MPFI, THAT would be a different story.
But, nice work nevertheless.

Edit: Just looked on Edelbrock's site. We make the Pro-Tuner EFI kit ECUs, not the lower-end red ECUs.

Re: bad ass chevy efi conversion
It is the pro flo 2 kit yes the ecu is red seems to work perfectly very responsive and it is actually multi port injection with a 4 barrel throttle body nitrous might be later spent to much money as it is LOL just decided to save up and get the aluminum heads from edelbrock. the heads on there now only have 1.94" valves they flow good but 2.02" would be so much better not to mention the weight loss thanks for the input also thinking about switching to serpintine belt drive if any one has any first and expertiseson the differnt kits available let me know
