EFI w/ GMPP Carb Intake I am doing some reasearch here, and I really like the LQ9 Builds I see. LQ9 Shortblock, L92 Heads, LS3 or L76 intakes do very well. If I wanted to go with this route, but get the GMPP Carb intake, and go fuel injected, could I use an ECM and Wiring harness from a late model vette, GTO, or F-body to run the engine or would I need to go custom Efi? I really love the look of the Carb intake with the fuel injection. Kinda looks like a happy medium between old school and new technology.
That looks like a Edelbrock Super Vic intake. And yes you can use the fbody harness, the Vette harness is for dbw and will be too much work to convert over to dbc. I recently completed the build of my 5.3 with the GMPP intake converted to efi, I'm using a truck harness and injectors though.

The engines in the mag were all 600-700 HP beasts, so looked like Obama sized budgets to me.
That is a Performance Induction Intake by Carey and a Accufab TB.
Not sure if the Factory ECU will control this TB or not. If it was able to, I am pretty sure you would have to use a F-body ECU since the throttle is is cable driven and tune in SD mode as well. The vette and GTO are both ETC.

Very nice I wasn't aware of anyone that's gone this route. I have no idea what dbw and dbc are. is that a throttle body on top of the intake or is that a MAF sensor? Do you run it as is or do you have an elbow and an Air filter on there? I've never seen a complete set-up like this. It's actually the first time I've heard of someone using a carb intake on a FI setup.
