Just an update on the 383 we installed in this beast. The engine come rated at 425 HP and 410 TQ.each @ under 5300 RPM. But this was with their injection or the Ram Jet system
The owner insisted on the aftermarket Edelbrock port injection system so we installed it for him. I do not like this product at all because + noisey injectors clicking very loud. = UGLY pressure regulator that has special fittings, the inlet nipple has no way to install braided line ( I had to braze fittings until I got to point I could install a AN fitting--- still ugly = very difficult to build ignition timing curve with any real initial lead. Funky intake manifold flange for throttle body. No real time download or recording capability. No way to display paramiters on 1 page, just go from screen to screen in their order with a paramiter 1 or 2 on each page. No way to hook up laptop and really tweak. If you want to change limits you have to send EPROM back to Edelbrock .NO OVER WRITE ABILITY. It sucks for how I want to use and is fairly expensive or way too expensive for what it does.
