    good grief do they wrap this well

    and the throttle body


    good to 850 hp - calculated I needed 58 lb injectors, these are 72 - or 20% more...

They don't like it? F*** em

    I figure since none of them work like I wish - I'll just use all the manufacturers at once... that'll work as well as they do individually... I think the question of sanity is one best left for others because none of it really makes sense.
    And yes, I've used all of them. The sniper works fine but it's too tall - this set up gains me 3" of hood clearance. and a much better potential for air flow. But if you go way back, my original plan was a carb.

    and the original, original plan was a motor that spanks LS motors... which it is doing but can do better

    Don't tell the powers that be at Optima. Not one picture of my car on the track, autocross, or brake challenge... seems they're not as thorough as they think they are.

    it arrived

    and put the old wing back on

    did an oil change

    oil looked okay and the spark plugs showed a touch rich and that I might be able to add a degree of timing... but at this point, it's safe so since I'm changing the entire fuel and spark system next.... I'll leave it for now.
