The Stealth Ram is a good setup. Pretty compact, good runner length, looks good, and is nicely integrated. A friend has one on his '69 Camaro with a Procharger. Stielow also used one on Malitude.

The lower manifold on my car is a heavily worked and extrude honed stealth ram; the upper is custom sheetmetal with extended bellmouth velocity stacks inside and is side-fed by a BBK 5.0 'Stang throttle body.

As far as EFI options, what do you mean? Off the shelf? Custom? Pieced-together? Or just looking for opinions on the various computers available?

ive been tryig to learn as much as i can about the holley stealth ram, as that setup has so far appealed to me most from what i have seen for sbc efi setups that are easily available, but i was curious what other people are doing for efi... thank you for your response.

I think that all depends in what you want. For instance the Holley Stealth Ram is an awesome set-up but is a bit pricey for what you get. There is a forum that is dedicated towards the stealth ram and 3rd gen F-bodys but I am having a tough time finding it right now. Really it is all depending in what you want.

I think many people tend to look over TBI's. I am not saying this just because I am using a TBI set-up, but TBI's are more reliable and still can be modified pretty well. As far as appearance nothing looks better than the S.Ram set-up as well. Check out Craig Boones 69 camaro on the pro-touring page he uses a TBI style set-up on a SB w/ a bit over 500 HP. Check this site out. http://www.goingfaster.com/spo/spo_t...y_central.html It not only gives great info on TBI'S but TPI's as well. A lot of reading, but good info. Hope this helps.

Disagree, not a simple tuning setup for a beginner. Many tuners struggle and more still will not even tune them anymore.
