Tomcat,
This may help also....some of us hang out on this site www.speedtalk.com There is always good hard core facts on this site from some of the best in the industry. Don Terrell is an ex-cup guy and knows alot of people.

Chris,
Do you guys make custom intake manifolds? If so I would be interested in hearing your opinion about what gains could be expected on my motor with a custom designed manifold. I know it won't be cheap, but what is with this sport?

Craig,
No we take care of the bottom end. I would go with CFE or Wilson. Both know there stuff. If you go with CFE, I know Scott, tell him Chris from Stef's called and he will take care of you.

Thanks Chris!

Found this laying around, don't know if you will be able to read it.

Thats why I keep you around, information, just a closet full!

GPM,
What are the particulars on that motor? I am assuming that is the motor with the modified intake manifold. Is he running a stock oil pump? We run a stock low volume oil pump on our 468" in our 66 Vette and that is about where the oil pressure is with 10W30 Mobil 1.

Better ask Kennywould,it was a while ago, I just dialed in the EFI.

Kennywould,you also made impressive dyno numbers(really close to what my 540 made on dyno with m-3 procharger at 6 psi boost). Fill us in on your combo(.050 duration,cam specs,compression,injector size,exhaust etc). Are you using mefi3 controller,who did your program for you. Did you use progressive linkage on your throttle bodies or do they open at same time. Are you using a stock tps on just one of them to tell computer info? Are you using merc iac motor and map sensor mounted to your custom top half?How much fuel presure/injector size?I am learning a little more every time someonetells about these fuel injected combos!
GPM,does the fast controller come with a base program that you tweak with laptop on the dyno at different settings and pulls or do you have to start at square one and create a program and make 100's of trial and error pulls on the dyno? Are you running somekind of exhaust sensor that modifys fuel curve (o2 wide band or something). I'm gunshy of getting a different fuel injection and trying to get program right while test driving boat under boost on water(one lean run and its all over!). Obviously you must have to start out fat and sloowly lean it down until its still making safe power,ive kind of done this already with factory fuel injection on my boat with blown 540 by slowly stepping up base timing and adjusting boost referenced fuel presure.Do you run a flat given fuel presure and make adjustments to your pulse width with your set-up or are you raising fuel presure with boost? I hate the boost refernced set-up on my boat,it's too rich at part throttle boost and i'm definately going to run bigger injectors in whatever fuel injection i run next year and use the two bar map sensor to tell computer to adjust fuel curve,i'm currently doing both and its NOT precise. Thanks for any info,I haven't been able to get any exact answers from the "fuel injection experts" other than multiple reprograms of my controller,Smitty

Motor 564 cu, hand ported bb2 xtra heads, 300/308solid roller, 9:1, stroker crank, home grown intake & plenum. I think after several pulls with no oil cooler, the oil pressure is going to drop, usually running straight 40w
