Personally I'd love to have that in my car..............and I'd run the exhaust manifolds! My question would be> Do I run a Holley Ultra HP 850 or FAST EZ-EFI or a choked vac secondary carb?

515 hp is a bunch for a street car and more than adequate for a good time on the track. Hobaugh's Corvette is a good example of not needing 600 hp to be competitive. All said and done the EZ-EFI is not going to cost much more than a good carb if you factor tuning time or a competent tuner, tuning components expense, etc. Same simplicity applies to the exhaust manifolds, do you need to spend $1500 on headers for extra power vs the heat, noise, and tight clearances they create?
