good info on the Fitech, cheers...did you need to spec the cam to the injection, or is it the same one used with the carb?

Same cam. Mild 231/238 @ .050 .610/.600 LSA 111. I make about 13" of vacuum. In the 496 it has great low end grunt. Rev limiter set at 6K.
Its really responsive.

Ayyy it's been a long time, first time looking at an actual forum since Facebook took over everything.

How is it running now?

Its not very Pro Touring looking. But it sure does handle a million times better than before. I have a little over 600 miles on the build. Its so different than before. 3.50 gears are perfect. Cam is getting replaced to mach the new build. Went with Chris Straub on a solid roller to match heads, weight, gears, and street manner. 240-242 @ .050 on .630 lift 109 LCA. Had the exhaust redone. Back to Sanderson headers. Part BB3. Love them. The FiTech fuel injection is flawless. Supply fuel, power. Add your specs. Far more responsive than any carb I ever had. I am going to shoehorn a 15x10 with the 275/60-15s out back one way or another soon. I drive the car just to get milk. I drive it for less than a reason. Its great!!

Its a blast to drive. Just got a new cam to match the build right. Should compliment the heads and make better power. Chris Straub grind. Solid roller. 240/242 @.050 .630 lift.
