Questions about running a single plane intake with EFI

Can you still run a single plane intake setup without using a aftermarket pcm?

I ask this becuse I figure that the throttle body would have some kind of a tps sensor on it, and they must all send the same basic signal? Correct me if I am wrong.

Also, what are the chances that it would still be able to clear a stock Firebird hood? I understand that there will need to be a fabricated induction system made.

Please leave your input.

I have never done this but I dont see why you couldnt unless Im overlooking something.

About the clearance issue... probably depends on the intake you want but Ive never seen a conversion that fits under the stock hood.

You can run a single plane intake with the stock computer, you just might need to extend or cut a few wires to length. As far as fitting under a stock hood... possibly. Fitting under the cowl... probably not without getting out the sawzall. You should PM Bret if you're considering it, he has done quite a few conversions.
