Glad to see your name pop up Dave. I'll send you an email rather than get into a lot of stuff here. Did you get into the E85 or E100 EFI business?Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Yup, We're starting to get a hand on it, with a lot of help from a tech at FAST and a lot of trial and error! Injector sizing is a "challenge", not too bad with the 85, but the 100 needs a size no one makes!!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

E100 - maybe two smaller injectors per cylinder (maybe not the same size?) with half of them only coming in at WOT so you can still get enough turn down for a good F/A ratio in the idle to mid-range? Just "thinking out loud", and likely a crazy thought.Good to have you back.

Well, that was part of the scheming early on.... sort of like an old recip aircraft fuel enrichment circuit. I still think it's a doable thing, but if we add the second set of nozzles it might as well be the dual inlet style, with the second one spraying a bit of nitrous.... Rog's daughter's dragster is now a 4.6 with a kenne Belle supercharger and a second pump to add fuel volume at WOT. Amazingly simple system, very tuneable, and added a bunch of horsepressure on the big end! Now, if I had as much money as I have spare time and crazy ideas, we could really go fast!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Always great to have an old friend show up!
The Impala sounds interesting and would be great to see an update on the 57
Believe it or not the 37 Dodge PU is moving under it's own power, licensed and insured and occasionally terrorizing the neighborhood.
Cade's a year way form getting his license and we're working on getting a 74 Mustang back on the road for him.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
