i started looking into this 2 years ago when i was planning my rebuild motor after the drpped valve seat on the OEM motor.
I ended up building a nice 2056 with increased compression, brand new heads, counter balanced crank and of course the cam is performance minded as well. to start i installed the d-jet and later last year i added a 50mm bored out stock throttle body from Tangerine/Chris Foley. Yes this helped a great deal, but we are still limited due to the d-jet and the MPS. So there are a few people out there that make ITB( independant throttle body) that could be used. One is Jenvey, and i see that PMB is carrying those. It looks ike they are mated to what ever IDF intake manifold you choose. there are 40, 45, 48 options. mated with 350cc injectors. I am wondering other than the CB performance stuff that has been available for a while, others have come to the table, who here has played around with this ? over the years ive read a lot on others using the megasquirt and micro etc and it seemd they were very difficult to tune and set up with lots of problems, trial and error. I am looking for advice on what to stay away from and what are the pitfalls and mistakes we can avoid before jumping into this. Look forward to some input, thanks!! Phil |

No fun car of mine is in spec. And they both have the stock fi systems that I have had to tune by hand. It's all about how hard that is and a
Sniper systems are actually engineered to deal with exactly that problem. Again, not that it will be better, but I think it would be good. I put a four barrel Edelbrock manifold under my 2 barrel HO CFI in my mustang for two reasons. One, it's a far better manifold for the application than the original cast iron 2 barrel truck intake (Ford, you suck..), and when my computer fails and I can't replace the half dozen sensors, I can just pop a Holley sniper on top. It won't care what cam I have, what head I have or what exhaust I put on. That is not something to scoff at. That's one afternoon and I am driving again. With about 60 more HP from what I can gather from friends in the ford world. |
