Need expertise on EFI conversion for a 406SBC

From what I've heard directly from tuners, the Holley EFI self tuning is very good. One of them said "it's good enough to put tuners out of business". Of course the install and setup needs to be correct.

The instructions seem reasonably straight forward. I only have a couple concerns about the gas tank fittings, but that can wait till the I decide to purchase.

Jody, I remember you from my original stint on the site, You had the Stielow built Chevelle. That was and is a favorite of mine. Do you still have it?

I do not. Great car, and the reason I'm doing another Chevelle right now. The 64 was the most comfortable fun to drive car I've ever had.

1) Get the Terminator EFI
2) Call Carl at VaporWorx! He will help with your tank/pump etc.
3) Have Andrew tune it!

Exactly what I did for my 440cid Pontiac and it's the single best thing I've ever done to the car!

Thank you!

You have pushed me over the edge. I am going to reach to to Carl and get the ball rolling.

The Terminator X Stealth is a good system if you want TBI. The Terminator X ECU will also handle the inevitable LS swap in the future.

what if your are a SBC guy that might want MPI? Cam isn't super lumpy, but 14.5" at vacuum I am thinking a TBI setup might not be ideal. And from what I have heard I might have to swap to an open intake anyway, so the cost difference starts to contract.

Thanks for all the discussion points everyone. I am still researching and all these points open up new questions.

Great topic and totally what I am thinking about doing. I can see the cost of the Holley set up.
1. Can anybody give an idea what a tank and pump set up will cost?

2. Andrew how much is your tuning service? I am talking a NA tune his for the 406 and mine is a 502.
