I have a couple (like half a dozen) different engine lift accessories... the old static bolt in place of the carb on an intake... and one that has a big azz screw for raising or lowering the tail... and another real handy version that does that but again - bolts onto the intake... BUT -- always a big butt -- this sling is perfect for a application like mine where I want to stick it in with the intake installed -- or my brother in laws blower motor etc.
I wish you were closer so you could come over and help me when I need it!
The motor combo -- is better than fantastic... and we all know it's all about the combo! This combo is big bore (4.155) - stroke - 3.750.... and small heads that flow well (Dart Pro 1 180's) and a cam that has real decent lift with a spread out LSA (114*'s if I remember the number)... for good idle and vacuum signal.
The EZ EFI is the best thing I've done to the car - and for me PERSONALLY - in the (to use AL's kind of statements) history of mankind! The car starts instantly - hot or cold - idles rock solid - as in - the tach does not move... (18* initial timing @ 900 rpms). It has INSANE throttle response... huge torque that is right off idle... and pulls like a freight train to redline (6200ish is my shift point in the 700r4 so set redline at 7000 in the ecu just for protection of the engine - it never hits that).
I left the A/F ratios at the factory defaults - 13.5 idle - 14. cruise - 12.8 WOT. This is running 36lb injectors and 45 PSI on a vacuum referenced regulator. Today I set the idle A/F at 13.8 and it responded with a slightly crisper note and a little higher rpm. Trust me when I say this thing is a window rattler... yet drives so docile. I'll have to post up a video using the Go Pro...
After all of this -- when I go out for a drive... I don't want to stop. It runs so damn well - and the drivability is just flawless. In 10 years of EFI - I've never had a motor run so well. Period. The key is good solid vacuum signal for the MAP sensor - a good CLEAN tach signal from an MSD type output - and the ECU MUST BE wired directly to the battery with the proper gauge wiring... plug the rest in and go!
EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
