I thought it was gonna be as non-computerized as possible

[ridge_runner]

carb overall would be easier, but fi is ok too

[Joseph1082]

It'll be outside and breathe fine, just a big-ass Carb and open headers

[ridge_runner]

put some dragster style headers on there.. haha

[FormulaLT1]

You know what though think about this, I think TPI is going to be the way to go, I can get a system from a junk yard for dirt cheap and while the engine is waiting to be installed we put in a better cam and work the heads or even swap them for the aluminum corvette Hi Flow heads and this set -up is 350 Horsepower area

[Joseph1082]

lol, but will we even need all that power, we probably won't go faster than 80 or so in this thing, i mean, if you have the money who am I to argue

[FormulaLT1]

Plus you have the added bonus of fuel injection reliablity

[Joseph1082]

if we do TPI let's run an intake pipe t othe front and mount a Big filter, there ya go... Ram-air

[ridge_runner]

haha, this is gonna have to be a strong chassis, the regualar frame is gonna have to be strenghtened, and theres gonna need to be mounts welded in for the rear, the trans, and engine

[ridge_runner]

hopefully it wont fly... haha

[Joseph1082]

I didn't even think of that, we are gonna twist the SH*T outta this thing... maybe Torque isn't the way to go

[FormulaLT1]

You what I'm sorry guys I was just thinking let just do carb the wiring and computer program would be a nightmare , sorry went off track there

[Joseph1082]

it sounded good

[ridge_runner]

well if we have a stall is wont be a sudden twist, it will be kinda like a small twist then like a big pull kinda thing or something

[ridge_runner]

lol. carb sounds cool and alot less mess
