[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 468310, member: 3432"] I'm sure I could get it to work...I just think it would be more finicky with weather changes and what not. I mean, it may sound stupid, but I really want to DRIVE this car....alot. Gas prices are dipping, and I want something will adapt and work in all conditions. I dunno....I suppose i'm just more scared of something I don't know as much about. The car is nice, but it's no Barret Jackson contender. It's a straight up driver. Itll prolly be end of February/mid March when I start sinching up the belt a bit and biting the bullet. I don't have the dyno sheets on me, but I believe when Dad picked it up from Hensley's they said it dyno'd in the 500-525hp range. My only obligations for an EFI kit are that it could support 650+hp and also still fit under the stock hood. I know the clearance is super close right now with the carbs. I remember he had to get some super small air filter to clear. My end goal for this vehicle is to sort of have a "sleeper". Stock paint....stock hood...no exterior mods or fix ups. Just a bitchin' motor, corner carving suspension and all sitting on some 15 or 16" stock style or period correct Trans Am series wheels. I had thought about doing the 17-18" wheel thing, but I dunno....I kinda like low-key stuff more and let the numbers do the talkin'. Kinda like my Mustang....except instead of 220hp, it'll have more than double that and weigh less! :) [/QUOTE]
