Talked to Eddie Young today at length and he advised that (paraphrasing) if I had a go fast then I should go for the Holley EFI. Since I need torque more then HP he recommends I need to keep the intake I have and have it worked. The intale I currently have will produce a lot more torque then the single plan intake at low er rpms/ Change from a EMFI-1 to a EMFI-4 and do some mods to the fuel rail, pump and intake. Suggest to stay with the B3XR. After about an hour of discussing what I would like and what he recommends I thought I should not have taken the engine apart. So current plan is to strap everything to a pallet and send it to Eddie and let him work his magic. Current plan is to build the motor for between 525 to 575HP and 600 ft lb torque.
Should have just left the motor together and let him take it apart. So now I have to box it up. Sure looking forward to it coming back an d next seasom

Are you upgrading the existing BIII or are you looking for a BIII that started life as an XR?

Issues I'm looking into for the answers are can I use a 1,81 ratio?
Want to go that route so I don't have to buy other props. Currently have 20 thru 24 pitch sets.
Other is can I use the B3XR with the power being built.
Eddie already answered this one, but want confirmation once he has time to look through the engine.

Don't have a current plan for the cam yet but thinking I could use it for a refresh on my Rinker. The Rinker's motor has more then 600 hours on it and could use a some love it self. Will think about it
