I have thought about it.

We have a friend that has a procharged 64 nova running a P1sc non intercooled 358 running 9lbs of boost. I am sure he would compare set ups with you if you wanted to. I know his has a cam in it for a supercharger because we got it for him.

Sell your carb, intake, wideband, and get a holley wideband efi set up. Your not going to get any money out of it not running right. I was in the same boat as you. I was running a carb on my blow thru set up and ready to get rid of it. I went with efi now I'm able to drive my car anywere. I'll help you out!! I live in the area. Think about it don't give up its only a car.

Thanks Travis. Yeah if you can have him, or you send me your info, this would educate me a bit more on this stuff. I know Jody has been in contact with CAR for the stuff that needs to be done, and they are both on the same page, so I might as well try it. First, a new carb hat is needed. The one we have is junk. Who makes the best carb hat? One issue with the carb hats is the end of the hat on ours sticks out straight and comes close to the hood, EV's hat has a dip at the end keeping it away from the hood, which we like. Second, we need to cool off the incoming charge. Water or NOS is an option at this point I guess, I'm just not real fond of either, just something else that can go wrong. Water is cheaper then NOS, and you can get water almost anywhere. NOS refills around here is hard to come by. Third with the cooling of the intake charge, we should be able to raise timing. How much I don't know. I just hate to have to run water as a bandaid to fix a problem like this, but at this point this is all I can think of to fix this issue. Id rather just have a 434 or 454SBC and be done with it.

How much are they, and how much is something like that to implement? Thank you for your offer. :thumbsup:

I think I spent about $2000 or so on the set up. Holley efi comander 950. Sell your carb, intake, etc.. and your halfway there. I'll pm you my ph# and we can talk.

Mike, first of all, we sell nitrous at Goodies. Second, if you do go to EFI, you could talk to Paul over here. He's a great tuner. Third, good god you're going through hell right now. But take your own advice that you gave me. Be patient and it will come to you. I know you want the car done, but don't let it beat you. It seems this kind of stuff happens to a lot of guys. Just ask Jon...

I know hood clearance is an issue for you.. I have a spare 4-inch Harwood cowl hood (Penny's old hood) hanging in my garage.. you can have it for free, but it would need to be painted. I'll even bring it halfway to ya :)

Tall cowl hoods are fine if they serve a functional purpose..
