I'll have to cross that bridge here soon. I'm going to see how far I can go on 15 psi initially. Then I am going to run a 4 bar map sensor and cut the resolution in half. This isn't nearly as horrible as it sounds as the 2 bar OS from HP tuners VE table has about double the resolution available with the aftermarket EMS's. If I can't get that working solid for some reason, then I will tackle a Megasquirt II conversion.

Right about the time that I start pushing this setup hard, my friends twin 78 setup should be wrapping up and I will have to emerse myself in BS3 for his car. I'd rather not be messing with 2 new and different (to me) EMS's at the same time. My head could explode


I hope so and thanks for the kind words.

I picked up the short block today. It's in the back of the blazer. I'll get some pictures later

The cam was also delivered today from Livernois so I am ready to go.

Just have to get another Formula off the lift tonite and get my car over to the shop. I hope to have it running by Monday or Tuesday at the latest unless I run into some major problems.

I've been 6.0x's in the 1/8 in this chassis. If I can reach my goal at only 18 psi, I'll be stocked.


No. Darrell's car has been built and running for over a year. I had no involvement in that project. It's a 408 w/ twin 67's and A2A. He hasn't pushed that setup very hard yet.

Steve's is going to be a 422 w/ twin 78's A2W.

As for the track, probably a couple of weeks provided I don't run into trouble. I want to give it a good solid break-in.


We are either going to really beef up my fibertuned or we are going to go a different route which I can't disclose for a few days. Some things have to come together yet.


Thanks

Here's the shortblock.
