Guest yatsen Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Hello there, I'd like to know whether any of you have ever installed an aftermarket fuel injection kit. Like, for instance, one of the Pro-Flo EFI Systems offered by Edelbrock or one of the products offered by Holley. If so, what are your experiences? Thanks.

Mike kZ Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I have the performer pro-flo on my 327 chevy. I love it, it's so easy to tune, makes very good hp, & tq, not to mention driveablity, and better milage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Do a quick search. This exact question was asked and answered about a month ago. I believe it was in the Fuel injection forum (?) Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know the juicy little details! I've been browsing around, comparing Accel, Holley and Edebrock products and so far Edelbrock seems to have the best combination of price and performance. The Accel DFI is kind of expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 The RPM one. Installation was easy, very good instructions with the kit. The only pain was to make sure you have good fuel lines to and from the system. I also added a sump to my tank to make sure I always have fuel, even around corners w/low fuel in the tank. Also make sure you have very good grounds everywhere. Before you buy a cam for your engine check the list of different chips that Edelbrock provides to make sure evrything matches. If your cam is to radical it may cause problems. Click on my "WWW" for pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yatsen Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 The RPM one. Installation was easy, very good instructions with the kit. Thank you very much for the info, Mike. One of the reasons why I'm asking is because someone mentioned this system as being a major pain in the butt to configure. Did you have any problems in this area initially?

Mike kZ Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 no, not really . But I did have the engine on an engine dyno to help break it in, and at the same time we tuned the EFI. Once in the car I had to make some small adjustments, but overall it went real smooth. Now this guy went a little overboard playing around with his pro-flo, but there is a lot of good info also. http://www.sonic.net/~mikebr/efi/main.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yatsen Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 What were your goals when you started out building that engine? There aren't a lot of folks in this forum with a 327. Is there a particular reason for choosing this engine size? It seems to me you've really done your homework! Bet it's not much of a problem keeping up with everybody else on the highway ... How much time and money do you have invested in that engine and how proficient are you as a mechanic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually my goals were just to make very good hp for the size of that engine, driveabilty, and good milage. I like 327s, and it just happened to be sitting in the engine compartment, unhooked and stock, when I bought the car. No problem keeping up, and passing the Jones's . I did everything on my car, except put the engine together, I think with the pro-flo, twist flow heads, and everything else it came close to 5 Gs.

Guest yatsen Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Thank you very much for the info, Mike. You've been very helpful. I like to do a little research on a subject to avoid as many mistakes as possible. Personally I was thinking of ordering a turnkey engine to keep the hassles to a minimum. I've already made up my mind as to which transmission I'd use and now I'm figuring out what kind of engine would suit me best. It must have fuel injection though and the Pro-Flo seems like a likely kandidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
