@kgerth425 good ass call its a sb good call ...and it is running open non roller setup 300 horse would be pushin it

If thats 500hp, then my 550 horse engine is 850 hp on that power scale!

Hee hee, sounds cranky and overlappy and totally impractical.. Just like mine :-) Love it, Long may it piss off neighbors, geenies, cops and give you much joy on the open road!

@eXp0N3nT1aL When you're making serious power, you don't want to find out what happens when you run lean :) Pushing stock injectors well past their duty cycle is a bad idea. In a car like mine - everything is modified, and the fuel system is no exception if you want to do it right.

@DeltaElite121 lol that's why u just forget all that fuel system nonsense and just buy a bigger cam for $100 and then tune it ha. that's how u get power w/o spending too much=]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 I've had plenty of fuel injected cars (including the "mighty" LS1), and they're not difficult to work with.. They're EXPENSIVE to work with when you get LESS for your money. Let's add it up: larger fuel injectors ($240-500), MAF sensor/throttle body/routing changes ($3-600), Fuel pump ($120-300), various hardware/gaskets ($150), Dyno tune ($3-600). That is a LOT of money for just fuel changes and very little power (if any) gained in the process.

@IROCwarriorAMC88 Who's "nobody"? There's more manufacturers for carburetors than there's ever been. That and you simply write it off as "old technology" when that's not entirely accurate.. they simply aren't the same as 1960's productions, albeit they share many same characteristics to an extent. If what you say is true - everyone would be running fuel injection at the strip. With the exception of alcohol and EFI cars in general - that is blatantly not the case.

[DeltaElite121]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 that EFI it came with is junk for power applications. Why spend 4 times as much money to get less power? It takes a LOT more money to make that EFI setup work, and even then - you'll still make more power with a carb, and a carb doesn't require a dyno for tuning in the event you make critical changes. I've had fuel injection, and my new generation carburetor is downright incredible. Carbs continue to be used because they cheap, simple, and reliable.

@codyritter2011 im glad to hear that.
