Keep the 454. More options and cheaper to upgrade than a 496. Yes you can keep your FI. Not sure where your at, but if its anywhere near north central Texas I can hook you up. Irish I would be very interested in your project. Be sure to start a thread on it! :)

It's been a ongoing project since October 2009 just haven't really posted much about it.

I understand. You will have an interested reader if you find the time, or maybe a recap when your finished of what you did, what worked, what didn’t, etc.

A very good friend who is a lake rat like myself is a very talented motor builder: kperacing.com (be sure to check out the projects page). He has built several normally aspirated marine motors that dyno out at 635-650 hp with no reliability issues over the last few years. He is also good with programming fuel injection. Two of his latest projects were a couple of twin turbo Duramax diesel motors that make 900 and 1100 hp...one of which powered a 1994 mustang to over 202 mph at the Texas mile a few weeks ago. He has been trying to talk me into a Duramax for my 26 OL, but I’m going with a Raylar/Whipple 496. :evilb:
