Craig - Car coming along well, switched over to a shortie glide from Coan this season and a 9 inch converter. Just put 1700 big ones down for a air to water AFTERCOOLER from Vortec 3 days ago. Thats just for the box, the radiator, pumps and etc. cost more. Saving my pennies to buy a port injection setup this winter, most likely from Force. Going to look at Ron's fuel injection too.
Keepin' with my stated objective of making a wild STREET car, I.E.-the aftercooler, fuel injection and so on.

Yup, looked the idiots over, and not one of the 5.0 boys that are competitive use any cooling. Just a hose from the big pumps outlet to the top of the throttle body injection. Thats all I see, or all they admit to anyhow. If there was a better injection setup for blowers, believe me,,,,,,, it would be on them, regardless of cost. Some of those sheet metal manifolds cost upwards to 6 or 7k, so money is in theory not the issue.

Now to really poision the pot. On a naturally asperated engine no one, I repeat, NO ONE has ever shown me that injection will make more power than a carb. And believe me I've looked. I see tractability and emissions advantages for injection, and for me that's "nouf " for me to look that direction. We often metion how much better fuel injection is of late. What we haven't talked about is that the carbs have gotten better too. (and more costly)

Scott - If you have a slug running lean on a carb, what you have is a manifold problem. Trust me, its pretty easy to tune a intake so they will run even, on a natually asperated engine. Fact is, it can even be done with gaskets for a quick fix in the field.
