I'll agree with LT1S10. You won't a lot of info on this board regarding EFI. To many here, an MSD box is hi-tech. My decision to use EFI for my car vs. Carb comes from past experience. I've found that, to me, the EFI is easier to deal with. Since 1986, I've only had one car with a carb (Carter 1-bbl). I've had good success in diagnosising my own problems without major drama, and repairs were more along the lines of plug and play.
My original plans for my Studebaker with for a 350 Chevy crate motor with a 4-bbl. Since then, I've really liked what I've seen with the new GM LS engine family. I decided I wanted to run a roots blower on the engine. EFI is the best way to tune this type of system, and this engine family has excellent support from the aftermarket already. Using a program such as LS1-Edit and a laptop computer, I can set the computer up as conservative or wild as I want.
As many guys who've run LT1's have switched EFI systems from OEM to aftermarket stand alone units. I'd check on a board that deals with LT1's.---Tom

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
