I haven't installed my Pro Flo system yet because I'm finding out I need to upgrade to the Pro Flo 2 at a cost of 2000.00. A new TBI system would cost about the same. Now I'd rather go with multi port system even at that cost if it performs better. I don't of anybody who has a Pro Flo 2 yet so I don't know how good it works.

This is the part you need to elaborate on for people to be able to help you. What exactly is leading you to this conclusion?

A few years back I went to my local speed shop and asked about fuel injection and they recommended Edelbrock's Pro Flo system and said they thought it was the best at that time. Fast forward to today and they tell me the Atomic EFI is the best now as it is very easy to set up compared to the Pro Flo.

I would rather go with the Pro Flo because it's a multi port system and I already own it. I'm not an EFI expert as far as setting one up so that is why I ask for advice. Finding someone who has installed a Pro Flo is next to impossible but I did find one person who has the system installed and he said it's been on his car for years and has had no problems with it. Locally, no luck with any Pro Flos installed on cars.

My goal is to have a sweet 69 Camaro I could drive everyday as any modern car. Keep the advice coming not just for me but all of us who has EFI questions

Stick with the multiport. A TBI is just an electronic carb. A well tuned multiport will run circles around any TBI.
The original Pro Flo was nothing more than a converted GM/Motorola ECM, not very capable by todays standards.
Just add an Accel, FAST, Holley or similar electronics. You'll be glad you did.

I just looked at this and it looks like the ticket but will it work with an Edelbrock Pro Flo?

It says it's no longer available.

Good news, the retro kit is still available. I called FAST yesterday and spoke with them and was told that the kit I was talking about it would work but was also told a newer kit will be available to. I asked if it was a 'plug and play' and was told it was. I'm stoked 👍😊

To some extent. But you still have to do cold start, transient and a few other things.
