EfI is worth the investment in terms of driveability and not performance gains. EFI and a carb should perform equally well. you should look into a centrifugal supercharger that way you don't have to cut the hood and don't have to worry about all the plumbing on turbos
Anyone have any specific recommendations for centrifugal superchargers?

Jerry, help me out here if you can, but what would I be looking at if I wanted to get the full MS2 setup, and the Megajolt Lite Jr system in term sof cash, assembled, and where can I get it?
Thanks.

I'll post the link I have saved at work that tells how to wire up a GM HEI module to a mopar dizzy, in place of the mopar orange box. also, to use the EFI timing, you'll have to get a distributor with no vaccuum or mechanical advance systems. easiest way? find a lean burn distributor off of a 5th ave (if small block) or late 70's 400 cordoba (if big block).

I think I'm going with the Accel DFI system.
Big time wiring harness issues....just thought I would let you know.
I'm pretty good with wiring and auto electronic so I'm not worried at all. In fact at some point I may try to run a 440 with a factory Magnum EFI controller, just for kicks.
I'd advise against it just because the mopar 'puters haven't been hacked very well, or the information on hacking/reprogramming them isn't nearly as "freeware" as the hacking of the GM (tbi, tpi, LT1) computers.

Yanno... I bought an Electromotive TEC II computer with distributorless ignition on eBay for $500. It's complete and doesn't need any kind of assembly.
Looking at the MS systems, I don't see any real reason to go that route when it's no more expensive than other systems that offer more features/functions.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

There won't be any reprograming or hacking involved, just a few ideas i want to try.

What "wiring harness issue" is THAT??!?!
Do you get paid to slag Accel or what?
Ok shoot me. I will retract that statement.  I cannot find the article I read that stated the harness's had some issues with the connections because of poor manufacturing. I personelly have no experience with their newer stuff and I shouldn't comment unless I have the facts to back it up. 
I can say that, any efi system out there currently has many advantages over carburators if your willing to learn it. The newer systems are getting easier and more intuitive to set-up with a lot of added diagnostic tools.
I prefer the systems that are programmable enough to grow with the projectand adapt without having to buy a new system. Get big enough injectors and the features you need to cover your future upgrades, and one system should do it.

Here's the link to convert to a GM HEI module. I think for EFI, you'll need the 7 pin.

Have you thought about a set of stage VI heads?
Well Rich, yes I did...Unfortunately, I had already purchased the Eddie heads, and a set of TTI headers for a lowdeck. It isn't possible to use low deck headers with Stage VI heads, is it? If it were, I guess I could sell the Edelbrock heads and get the Stage Vi's...
