Not Ranked
Dyland,
I don't even have a car yet, but I have done some research on EFI, as that is what I wanted to do as well. What I have heard from almost everyone, that actually has an aftermarket system, is they are a bear to tune, but once its done, its great. It helps to have a knowledgeable tuner for YOUR system and a dyno tune is a must. To clarification a little, you mentioned two different kinds of systems in that the Edelbrock is a complete system (Holley makes one too), but the TWM (Hilborn, Imagine, & verycoolparts.com are other suppliers) is just the manifold. You will need to pick/purchase some sort of controller to go with the TWM manifold. There are a host of aftermarket EFI systems and computers (MOTEC, HalTech, FAST, Accel, & Electromotive to name a few) to choose. I would suggest you do some searches on this site and the web to get the basics. Look up the controller manufacturers I mentioned and read their product info. I will tell you that I have been scared off from jumping into the EFI initially. I have an ERA on order and will initially go with a carb setup, but I'm installing a return regulator, O2 bungs in the side pipes, and possibly a crank sensor in preparation for EFI in the future.
