I have seen on other posts that your looking to build a 350. If your going to put a big cam in it , It would be alot cheaper to go with a carb setup. Your stock TPI only makes low end power. Only upto around 4500-4700RPMs. Aftermarket injection ( MiniRam, SuperRam,StealthRam) will give you the RPMs you need if your planning on a larger cam but one of those setups will cost you around $1000- $1500.

No matter what if he goes with a Stealthram hes going to need to find a local ship that has the capabity to make Proms. I am finding out the hard way that buying from a place that you cant take the car to is a waste of money. Spent $365 on a chip from an out of state place & its starting to look like I will be spending $1k to get a proper chip & tuning done on my car from a local company.

no need to get custom proms burnt anymore. Get a Prominator Chip and download any bin file you like in afew seconds. Or make a custom bin file as you like for your car. All downloads from a laptop. I got one 2 weeks ago, this things great. www.prominator.com
