So I have a built 383 stroker, and I am trying to figure out what to use to supply the fuel. The engine was originally built for a stock TBI system I was going to run a 454 TBI with a tune. But I have gone away from that the cam is pretty big and might not run good with the TBI and I already have a carb intake on it. The question is WILL I BE ABLE TO GET ALL THE POWER POSSIBLE OUT OF A SELF TUNING EFI SYSTEM? I've been told by the engine builder the TBI wont produce max power. If you throw a carb on it you'll gain more power.

Another question I have is the first start of a freshly rebuilt engine. will I be able to throw the self tuning EFI on the engine start it up and Rev the engine up to the recommend RPM to get the cam lubricated?

I was looking at the 600hp self tuning EFI on Summitracing for just under $1,000

That's what I'm going to do except I'm going with the FiTech 600hp power adder system cause in the future I will add either a turbo system or supercharger. I did a 408 stroker kit on a dodge and used the FAST system and had no problems starting it and reving it up to break in the cam (large cam ) so I don't think this kit should be any different.
