Seems like an affordable way to make EFI working in your old car. Any saying about this?

Well there's some major differences electronics being built into the throttle body being one, and the $995 price tag being the other

I know this is an old Thread but has anyone tried one yet? I got a Stage 2 FRI 5.7 Hemi in my 68 Dodge Charger, Im getting really sick of the carb, it has no choke so runs horrible until it warms up, and even this with the 5 speed and ac it will not stay running at stop lights.

I have an exstra 6.1 intake manifold, thought about going EFI, but Im not sure its worth the extra work, and I like my 6 pack air cleaner.

I have the GO 4 600 in my 71 Cutlass with a mild 455 (230/236 duration @ .050, .030 overbore, dual plane intake, headers), ditched the Avenger and Edelbrock carbs and I aint looking back. Best $2k I've ever spent on a car. Had to put in a Tanks inc efi tank and electric pump, ran Fragola PTFE lines with Fragola -AN6 ends. Car starts everytime, warms up nice, no hesitation, no flat spots, no raw gas smell (usually), and can be tuned in the car without a laptop while on the go without getting covered in gasoline; the engine operates just like my 300. All that car needs now is more gear and a modern transmission.If you are looking for something to put on the 431, you may want to look for a mega squirt direct injection kit rather than the throttle body types of the EZ-EFI or Holley Sniper systems. But the throttle body kits will look more "stock" and fit in better, but then, there is a modern HEMI in it already, so that may be moot.

The issue with this type of EFI on a Gen3 is getting a half way decent intake. The system works fine..but most of the G3 'carb' intakes compromise plenum size and/or runner length.

Your best bet is the OCP Dual Plane intake. Joe O'Cone was the first guy to run a carb Gen 3 and has developed a good product without compromises (unlike Indy and Edelbrock)

He used data from guys such as myself and dyno tested the combo so that it loses nothing vs the factory 5.7 intake.

Google OCP intake..you'll be happy you did. ;)
