Vette(s): 68 roadster, 509 cid aluminum race engine, 18" wheels, custom chrome roll bar, almost fully restored
I have an aluminum block 509cid thats ready to go into my 68 with a Jerico NASCAR trans. I'm mostly gonna use the car for track days at Pocono & Watkins Glen but I'll drive it on the street ocassionally also.
So I am considering a Kinsler injection system or a dual carb set up. I imagine the injection is less fussy but probably a lot more $. Anybody have experience with race induction systems ? Thanks

I am not a racer but, I am replacing my 427 with a 454 and I plan on fuel injection. I will use the Edelbrock unit. I chose it because it has three memory settings. This might be ideal for you because at the touch of a button you can go from track to street settings and you do not need a laptop to change or create any settings.
Good luck with your decision.
