Thread: Natural Aspiration vs. Fuel Injection

Tweet

Last weekend, we drove a road that hit 13,114 ft above sea level. The 350 Chev engine started just the same as it does at home (2650 ft elevation). It never coughed, sputtered or missed; the altitude effected me more than it did the motor. This setup is a GM manifold with injector bungs, an MSD body, and a Mercury Marine controller.

Personally, I will never again own a carbureted motor unless it is a drag-race only engine with a Holley or Holley variant. Otherwise, the driveability of fuel injection has too many advantages. For your motor, there are several options, the Cobra guys have the stack injection setups available. For a more traditional look, there are the MSD body styles that use injector bungs welded into the manifold. For a nice manifold setup, you should be able to do one for $3K-$4K including the computer.....the stack injection will be a couple of grand more for a nice looking setup.
