I am trying to figure out the best way to hook up two T61's to my 402cid Big Block Chevy. The motor isnt built yet so I can do what ever is needed.. I know I cant run high compression, I was thinking blow throw carb, but I have a friend that is dealing with that and it doesnt look good.. :(

I was wondering if there is a setup I can put on my motor so that it would be very tunable and stable..

Anybody have any ideas??

Do they have a setup that is fuel injected that doesnt need all the smog crap, 02sensors,and all the wiring.. I was thinking about maybe a ramjet, but im sure if that would work.

All that so called smog crap is what helps to tune the engine and get readings so that the fuel injection can adjust accordingly. EFI is the way to go b/c of the ease of tunability. A carb hat is good but only with a carb that is prepped and tuned accordingly. Do your reasearch and I'm sure some more people will chime in. I don't know of anybody that offers a kit but fabbing your own or haveing someone fab a system for you is most likely what wil be needed. Plan on spending some $$$$ though especially with twins.

yeah don't despair
the FI set up can be just as easy as a carb
especially for common apps
megasquirt is a simple do it your self set up and a few sensors and your set, the 'smog' crap won't be there just what you need to tell the computer what needs to be adjusted and for turbo this might be the best way to go
