i have a 67 pro touring camaro im building, 540 800hp pump gas eng with t56 6spd, dse full chassis kit, the problem is what transmission are you gonna run behind a beast like that? automatics suck in a pro t car, but that is about all that is available when you go much over 1000 ponies....

nothing we do makes sense 
If i was gonna build a super mega big inch street car it would be a 69 or 70 fastback Stang with a Jon Kaase mill
a Boss Nine

Tell ya what though, i always thought it would be cool to have a 525EFI in an old Camaro (70 to 73) with all Livorsi gauges and just a general marine spin on things, not overkill but just a tastefull amount of the hardware we use. About ten years ago there was a guy on here that did i think a 69 Camaro with an EFI and it was pretty bad ass. I suppose if i had Bill Gates kinda money then i would probably have a Merc 1350 in something just because
My last Camaro i retro'd in the drive train out of a 91 Iroc and this car killed me for carbs. I dont know why anyone would run a carb on any street rod, FI is wayyyy easier to work on and runs farrrr better. It floors me when i see some of these high dollar pro touring cars cross the block at Barret Jackson or ??? and they have carburetors on them you might as well put wood spoke wheel on them and a hand crank start sticking out from under the grill.I am in the process of doing a 71 TA for myself and it will be something fuel injected for sure, this one will be a keeper.
I dont know if a lot of people realize this but the Merc EFI was originally developed by ASM (arizona speed & marine) for street rods and was quickly snapped and developed for OEM. I dont know any of the details but i was building pro street rides back in the early 90's when this system came out then kinda disappeared, couple years later Merc introduced the 500EFI. LightningJet on here actually has three of the test engines that have the ASM logo on them.

I had a 2003 mustang cobra that made 1100 rwhp 1200rwtq on pump gas with stock block and all stock internals with the exception of cams. Upgraded supercharger, fuel system, exhaust, methanol injection kit and a little nitros to top it off. Stock trans, rear end and was completely turn key everyday drivable. Cost me about $17,000 on top of car of course. Owned it for 8 years and put 15,000 trouble free miles. Fun car!

Nelson built me a motor a few years back (BBC w/N2O - about 850HP +/-) and I was extremely happy with it. Lasted for years afterwards. Although I know I lost some power and dependability (vs FI), I'm old school in that I like dual quads on a high rise manifold.

Great idea but you would need a realy realy long hose to feed the super chiller and the big honking exhaust would be a ***** to route through the car .
