Aftermarket fuel injection with a roots blower?
I'm kicking around the idea in my head of converting from carb to some type of wet intake fuel injection. I've done a little searching in the past, and most of the aftermarket systems I've found are for naturally aspirated applications.
My boost level isn't high as I only run a max boost of about 8 psi. But whatever injection system I would get would need to support the added fuel needed to prevent going lean, and the throttle body would also need to support up to 600 hp. I'm not looking to sit around on a laptop to try to tune fuel/timing curves, so I'd like whatever system I get to be self learning....and of course not break the bank....or my engine! My general engine setup is in my sig.
I'm currently running an older MSD 6AL with with the boost retard **** in my dash. I have it set to back timing off when in boost...1 degree per pound of boost.
Any systems you guys know of that will fill the bill?

I'm running holley's hp efi on mine. Its a centrifical novi with a stealthram. Their software is self learning, but there is still tuning to do to get it right. That would be true for pretty much all the aftermarket controllers. I know holley has a tb unit, terminator I think they call it if thats what you want, but these are expensive. Easy to use though.

And there's also the neat new kit that has a separate sump with a fuel pump inside…but I'm not certain it would support my engine with boost. Thanks - guess I'll just keep looking. I know it's gonna be tough to find one.
I may need to do a little additional tuning I guess, but I'm willing to do that so long as there's a base program that's somewhat close to keep it safe….
