if it's low cost you seek, i would recommend looking at howell efi or holley. i think howells mpfi can barely handle a 500" motor. the tbi is 1/2 capable, but call them and check. you could get howell's tbi system for about 1100 and add a second fuel pump + throttle body perhaps from eBay. it's cheaper and safer than megasquirt ... i think mopars have to use universal, but amc V8s have specific kits at howells. go figure. dont assume more expensive kits run good "out of the box" -- none do. in theory, even a tbi would probably be better for a blown car than a specially prepped carb.

The real answer is to discuss it with James Monroe at KillerRon's http://www.killerrons.com/Also read his and the Ronsfuel web site information. http://www.ronsfuel.com/I don't know the streetability of it, but I would think the instant supply of fuel of an injection system would be better than a carb's accelerator pumps. And the "Terminator" throttle bodies should be even better than the "Flying Toilet" for part throttle use.

I tried using the toilet system with a blow-thru setup. I was using alcohol not gas or E-85, and it was a race car not a street car. The blow-thru toilet worked, but a BOV is NEEDED. The throttle blade is large enough that when the throttle was snapped shut at the big end, there was enough pressure on the blade to bind the throttle shaft, sticking the car at about 3/4 throttle. This problem did not appear until most of the way through the season. So apparently the pressure was wearing the throttle blade pivots, or had bent the throttle shaft.
A BOV would have bled off the extra pressure and should have prevented this problem. A the time I purchased a Terminator throttle body, figuring the smaller blades and better shaft support should cure the isse, but never got around to installed it (still on the shelf).

can u run E85 through it? and when I say street car i mean drag car that you cruise once in a while
I recalibrated my Ron's Flying Toilet injection from methanol to E85. It works great. I ran most of the 2009 season on E85 (started the season on methanol). With the wide band oxygen sensor to help tune it, it was pretty easy.
