Hey Guys,

It's been a while since I've posted here, and now that I've got your attention I'll get to my question.

I picked up a 57 Corvette FI intake manifold and doghouse which I plan to convert to EFI. The people on this board seem to have a lot better grasp of what you can do with EFI than any other group. As I'm starting from scratch, I figured I'd use a known set-up that uses of the shelf parts.

I'd like to run some cam, and am wondering how far you can go with speed/density systems, or should I go mass airflow. Advertizing in the aftermarket would leave one to believe a speed/density unit can do anything, but I'm not asking for hype, just a good solid system I can depend on. This'll end up on a 302 non-Ford, installed in my ol' Shoebox I got in '62.

So guys, if you are starting from scratch, don't have to pass any sniffer, what kind of system would you start with?
