Default 350 Ram Jet upgrade

Hey guys, I'm buying a 1984 Chevy Silverado 4x4, with a rebuilt 350, 214-224 Cam. I am looking to upgrade it to Fuel injected, and was looking at going to a Ram Jet type setup.

The questions I have now are, do you think the Ram Jet would be a good investment to get good performance out of it, or would I be better off just trying to fuel inject it and not go the Ram Jet route.

Second question would be, which ever route I choose, say like the Ram Jet, I will need an ECM right?? ANd I was reading up and seeing that the LS1 works good with the 350 Ram Jets, and I guess what I'm asking is, what will I need with the setup to make it run, and get the best performance out of it??

Thanks guys..

for the Ram Jet:

another great option is the TPI setup found in camaros and firebirds. find a donor for motor, ecm, wiring harness, easy swap. or the Vortec found on trucks.

Painless Wiring also makes wiring kits that are easy.
