What can anybody tell me about fuel injection on a 427T? It's not going to go to the track, but it will be built pretty beefy for street legal. Thanks!
The fuel injection is great for tune-ability, but it is a lot more money.Even with a rad. cam they will start better and idle a little better.On the dyno I doubt you will see much of a hp. gain.The last one I priced out was 5K from a company called Force fuel injection.Yes,it was very trick but with the thousands of dollars saved you could install a blower.
