4. C
5. Moon Intake manifold modified by myself, 4 TWM 45mm DCOE Throttle Bodies, Electromotive TechII, Twin Turbonetics Hi-Fi 60-1 Turbos
6. I wanted something that would start everytime I turned the key, the tuneability, reliability, a challenge and something you won't see every day.
7. When I bought my Electromotive unit there was basically nothing available but the Motec and I didn't have 5k just for the box. I think I will swap it out with a different manufacture. There have been so many advances in EFI since I bought mine. Anybody want me to test a new system? LOL!

[myclone]

Which one? Well, since this is a PT site Ill stick with the PT project.

1. Pontiac

2. 400SBC (well, technically its not in the car but it is in a stage of assembly)

3. Never thought about a HP # really. Im after 630ish ftlbs of tq so the hp will take care of itself.

4. d

5. LT1 intake converted to run a reg distributor with home made fuel rails and home welding/porting of runners, brodix alum heads (home ported), 96lb/hr injectors (extra injector size is for later upgrades if I want), power stroke IC modded to my specs (hey, it was a free part :) ), two PT50 turbos w/ smallish exh housings for low RPM spool up, home built 304 SS headers, 749 syclone/typhoon/sunbird GT ECM.

6. Why did you choose this style of induction system?

a. Most of the parts I already have laying around.
b. Reliability (wifes fair weather/weekend driver since she sold her GN).
c. I enjoy fabbing/modding my own parts to suit the way I want them.
d. An excuse to buy a bigger TIG welder :) .
e. The look on other guys faces when my wife slaughters their nasty sounding tubbed strip only cars at the track (shes brutal on the tree) or when she torches some racer wannabe's ass stop light to stop light. The expression is priceless trust me.

7. Im familiar with it, they are cheap, and I have ~5 of them laying around. Too bad the language is NOT user friendly and when the price of stand alone FI comes down to ~$500 or so Ill be ditching the GM ECM.

[Parts Abuser]

1. 1969 el Camino
2. Dart Little M based 383
3. Horsepower is roughly 750
4. D
5. Heavily modified Weind tunnel ram, Accel GEN7 DFI, twin Turbonetics TO4B's with a very large intercooler.
6. I wanted twin turbos.
7. I've had an Accel GEN6 system for about the last 10 years and found it to be very reliable (I've since installed it in my wheeler). The new GEN7 system is even more tunable. The car is very civil on the road and idles very smooth, yet at 60mph on the freeway this 4000lb tank will smoke the tires (335x35 P Zero's with a 3 link) in 3rd with a 2.56 gear in the rearend. Very cool.

[OHCbird]

1. 68 Firebird

2. 250+ CI Overhead Cam 6 cylinder (inline). Next is a 301" stroker.

3. HP; 425-450 rwhp, with a nice fat torque curve. 550hp at the crank would put a nice smile on my face, and validate many things that are going into this combo.

4. D

5. Clifford intake modified for EFI (Gen7), 55lb injectors, Turbonetics TO4 60-1 turbo, Spearco Icooler as big as the radiator, Accel 1000cfm TB. 100-200 shot of juice available for later turbos.

6. I wanted to do something different + I'm a big fan of turbos.

7. System capabilities + good deal. I've worked with all sorts of aftermarket and OEM units, I just like the balance the Accel Gen7 offers. The boost builder feature helps, as I'm using a 200 4R.

Why EFI? Unlike an SBC, there are very few aftermarket components for the OHC-6, so swapping out cams ($$$) and manifolds, etc is not an option. I've made or modified just about everything that has gone into the motor (except the Crower rods). Add to that the fact that EFI can support many levels of power given very few changes.

3. What is your horse power goal?
500 rear wheel. More important though is the 30 MPG goal I have. :seizure:

4. What style of induction is planned for your current project?
EFI with rear mounted (as in muffler location, ala STS turbo's idea) T4 turbo 60-62 trim intake side and somewhere around 90-100 exhaust trim.

5. Please list the details of your induction system. Brand of intake manifold, carburetor, EFI ECU, blower, turbo, etc…

6. Why did you choose this style of induction system?
Cheap. I've spent around $200 on the intake setup including all parts and the turbos I've been looking at are only around $350-$400 shipped. Exhaust parts are cheap and I own a nice MIG welder.

7. If you are using EFI, what are the deciding factors for choosing your particular system?
Cheap.

1. '68 Chevy Camaro.
2. 1971 402 BBC bored and stroked to 433 cubic inches.
3. The goal was 500 to 550 HP. More would be cool, but I'll suffer with 483 HP 550 FT LBS of torque.
4. Naturally aspirated carburetor.
5. Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake, 850 Double pumper Holley, and K&N air filter.
6. The engine had already cost me enough money at the time. The carburetor was used and came at a great price. After seeing how many gremlins a fuel injection system can have and how much time it takes to tune fuel injection really well, I'm thinking my "box of leaks" (known as a carburetor) is pretty good.

1. What brand of car is your current project?
1969 Nova
2. What engine is in your current project?
stock 255hp 350, flat cam and all!
3. What is your horse power goal?
No specific hp goal, 1/4 mi goal of 11.99
4. What style of induction is planned for your current project?
d. Forced induction EFI (hopefully)
5. Please list the details of your induction system. Brand of intake manifold, carburetor, EFI ECU, blower, turbo, etc…
Our ECU (obviously), don't have the rest planned out yet. I keep thinking about turbos, then I wake up and realize I don't have the fabrication skills.
6. Why did you choose this style of induction system?
Because I doubt that I could keep it numbers-matching and run in the 11's naturally aspirated without turning it into an ill-tempered POS. I have to drive it to work too, and more particular (some would say wussy) about things like idle quality. I want my car smooth.
7. If you are using EFI, what are the deciding factors for choosing your particular system?
Well, if I didn't fuel inject it, my company would probably fire me. Plus, EFI is to me as carbs are to my dad: it's what I know.

I also have a 1968 4x4 CST-20 and a 1968 camaro (actually my ex-girlfriends technically, until I can buy it off her). I wish my Nova was a 1968, it certianly would round things out a lot nicer!

If I do end up with the camaro, it'll be more P-T and the Nova will probably be more stock, hence the ambiguity about my project plans currently.

5. Induction type - twin turbo. Stock LS6 manifold, and injection save for larger injectors and tuning.
6&7. The reasoning behind using the Gen III was GM already figured out most of the fuel injection for me. Tuning is done with LS1edit, which is not too complex a program. Your average joe could use it from what I've heard. Turbos are for making big power, while staying reliable, streetable, and maintaining friendly manors. Same for the efi. With twins and LS1edit, I can have several tunes on a laptop for various boost levels. 600rwhp is not pratical on the street, but it will come in handy for top speed events. I could (in theory) drive the car to the event at 6psi and then turn the boost to 12psi via a boost controller and change the tune. With a carb, or Supercharger, I'd be either changing pulleys, or tuning a carb. LS1edit is fairly inexpensive as well. Although I won't do the dyno-tuning myself, it's nice to know I could switch pre-made tunes with realitive simplicity.

3. 400's right now
4. What style of induction is planned for your current project?
b. Naturally aspirated EFI Currently
d. Forced induction EFI Future

5. Wanting to run the Procharger D1SC. Factory ECU tuned with HPtuners, bigger injectors(# depends on where I want to go with power) stock intake manifold, might change the MAF
6. I first wanted turbo but couldn't afford the way I wanted to go. Procharger can get me making some nice numbers with lots of potential(which could be said for both) that damn whine is wicked too!
7.Its factory. My main question was...Build a 400 horse small block and get 10mpg or run a factory LSX motor with 400 horse and get mid to high 20mpg. No brainer and for cheaper too!

1. 1968 Plymouth Road Runner

2. 451ci Stroker Big block

3. It's been dynoed at 500hp.

4. a. Naturally aspirated carburetor

5. Holley Street Dominator (single plane, 4-barrel) topped with a Speed Demon 850 4-barrel.

6. The Holley SD made the best average hp over it's rpm range in a Mopar Muscle intake shootout + it fits under my uncut hood.

[Salt Racer]

I seriously doubt Holley would start making aluminum intakes and heads for ancient Buick motor, but since you asked....


1. Buick

2. currently 425 Nailhead, 427 LSx one of these days if I don't get deported

3. 300 RWHP with NH, 500ish RWHP with LSx

4. a for NH, b for LSx

5. NH: Modified OE intake and Holley 750 vac with Proform center, LSx: FAST or any high flow composite intake and any ECU less than $1500

6. NH: No aftermarket single 4-bbl intake available for this engine and I'm cheap, LSx: light weight and thermal conductivity of composite. Don't need super high map resolution for a 6500rpm NA engine

[derekf]

Couldn't really use the Malibu for the answers, since I haven't even decided on what engine to use - but here's answers for the El Camino:

1. What brand of car is your current project?
It's a Chevy.

2. What engine is in your current project?
396

3. What is your horse power goal?
~400-425

4. What style of induction is planned for your current project?
a. Naturally aspirated carburetor

5. Please list the details of your induction system. Brand of intake manifold, carburetor, EFI ECU, blower, turbo, etc…
Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold
Holley 750 Vacuum Secondary carb

6. Why did you choose this style of induction system?
Couldn't afford the EFI setups that were available at that point.

[Pro-touring towncar]

1. Lincoln Town car

2. small block ford

3.around 600 or more

4. Force induction EFI

5. somewhat undecided, leaning toward turbo, megasquirt ecu

6. EFI = power + driveablity

7. Megasquirt is a inexpensive ECU and works with what I have planned.

3. 250 hp from the 305; 375-400hp with the upcoming 350.

4. b

5. The 305 has a TPI intake with SLP runners and ported plenum. The 350 will get a Stealthram since Holley is supposed to release it with the Vortec intake pattern this year.

6. Better cold starts, MPG, better all-around driveability.

7. I'm using a factory '87 F-body harness with the GM '165 ECM. It was easy enough to adapt, and cheap too!

6. Why did you choose this style of induction system? Very flexible, you can turn the boost down for the street and turn it up when useing high octane race fuel for speed events. All from the drivers seat.

7. If you are using EFI, what are the deciding factors for choosing your particular system? Relyablity and precise tuning.

No EFI yet, but I'm already planning and collecting parts. I'll end up using a Megasquirt controller and off the shelf Ford EFI components, and either a Ford EFI intake or a modified 4 barrel intake like the Stealth plumbed for injectors. It'll be cheap, but hopefully effective at improving torque, mileage, cold starts, lower emissions, and make more power.

Not sure, will have to watch the industry and LS1 evolve.
6. Why did you choose this style of induction system?
Looking for good power levels, strong throughout entire range, while still getting some decent mpg. I am not against turbos, just not sure if they are what I want.
7. If you are using EFI, what are the deciding factors for choosing your particular system?
EFI seems to be the best possible answer for consistent power and economy, plus I believe it is easier to work with a computer for automatic adjustments based on ambient conditions.

1. What brand of car is your current project?

Buick


2. What engine is in your current project?

280" Stage II V6, Stage II heads. Forged stroker crank, Carrillo rods, BRC 8.8:1 pistons, solid roller cam, rev kit, Chapman ported S2 heads (340/270 cfm).


3. What is your horse power goal?

1000, give or take some kitty litter


4. What style of induction is planned for your current project?

a. Naturally aspirated carburetor
b. Naturally aspirated EFI
c. Forced induction carburetor
d. Forced induction EFI

D. Twin throttle body tunnel ram, 160 lb/hr injectors, FAST sequential with wideband,twin 60-1 turbos, .70 A/R P-trim exhausts, 4" inlet 2.5" outlet compressor housings, large-by-huge air-air front mount IC.


5. Please list the details of your induction system. Brand of intake manifold, carburetor, EFI ECU, blower, turbo, etc…

I started with a Weiand tunnel ram base, added 2" of sheet metal and a billet lid, twin Honda throttle bodies, injector bungs, fuel rails, water lines, etc.


6. Why did you choose this style of induction system?

I wanted a good sized plenum to minimize cylinder to cylinder variations, which sometimes are a problem in turbocharged 4 bbl intake conversions. I used the tunnel ram because I got it for $40 on Ebay and the Honda throttle bodies because they were free. :)


7. If you are using EFI, what are the deciding factors for choosing your particular system?


FAST has a good user base with the turbo Buick crowd..important if you don't want to re-invent the wheel. Wide band O2 is hugely helpful for boosted motors, and sequential injector firing is important when you try to use a huge injector with a small motor (short idle pulsewidths).

[vintageracer]

Two projects: 1970 Chevelle SS 454 convertible and 1972 Monte Carlo Convertible!

Throttle body injected 454 Doug Nash 5 speed in the Chevelle and 93 LT-1 automatic overdrive in the 72 Monte Carlo.

Horsepower goal is mild/stock in both cases. Driveability is more important.

Throttle body chosen for SS 454 convertible to look stock under cowl induction air cleaner. LT-1 injected engine for driveabilty in Monte Carlo convertible and I also already have 2 of these engines in the shop.

13 inch Brakes with C4 Calipers front and 12 inch rear, Hotchkis suspension, powdercoat frame/suspension/underhood components and 17 inch repop SS wheels on the 70 SS 454 Convertible.

Same brakes and suspension as described above for the Chevelle will be installed on the 1972 Monte Carlo convertible with 17 inch/18 inch wheels. This will closely match in appearance the 1970 Monte Convertible that I already have built and driving. The 1972 Monte convertible will drive and handle MUCH better than the 1970 Monte convertible I currently drive.

Picture attached is the 1970 Monte Convertible that I am currently driving. Stock drivetrain and suspension with exception of the 17/18 inch Billet Specialty "Vintecs".

1973 Pontiac 400

3. What is your horse power goal?

I don't really have one at this point... I just want to get it running again.

4. What style of induction is planned for your current project?

a. Naturally aspirated carburetor

Holley carb.

5. Please list the details of your induction system. Brand of intake manifold, carburetor, EFI ECU, blower, turbo, etc…

The intake is an Edelbrock Performer RPM. There may be a bottle lurking someplace too... but I can neither confirm nor deny that information.

6. Why did you choose this style of induction system?

I have more Holley parts than I can shake a stick at, and the intake was a great buy from a local Goat owner.

7. If you are using EFI, what are the deciding factors for choosing your particular system?

N/A

Ease of use, reliability, features, price.
