Well I quoted REAL WORLD dyno and on track info from a class that is NOT pro stock and is very cutting edge. I know most don't care but guys running NA10.5 are on the cutting edge of engine development. Most everyone is using big name builders and the best parts money can buy all the while pushing the envelope as far as they can to make power within the rules. We have everything from inline wedge headed small blocks, to "conventional headed" BBC's making 1300+hp to spread port small blocks, to the fastest Pontiacs in the country making BIG HP and beyond. Most these guys will spend what it takes and take the time it requires to run up front. IF EFI was faster on track I feel pretty confident many would already be making the leap if there was something there. I salute Leonard and his efforts. He is a leader in innovation and not afraid to tackle something new. But he will admit it has not been easy and still is waiting to eclipse the ET he had with a carb.
after looking at some of the videos with the clear intake manifolds and seen exactly what goes on.. with all the turbulence and Chaos that goes on inside of an intake.. it's amazing how close a carburetor is to a coffee can and a garden hose.. I think injector placement is everything
. I think if you get the injector down low you could possibly accelerate the car quicker on the short side by putting fuel where it needs to be.. but then it will sacrifice up top because the fuel will not mix properly with the air.. if you put the injector up high it'll make more Peak power but acts a lot like a carburetor. After watching my book carburetor on the dyno pulling fuel out every orifice it had.. it's hard to believe the afr's were a steady as they were.. and I watch a lot of the na stuff out there
. And Al is correct. Very few are fuel injected.. I'm excited to be partnered up with a high-end fuel-injected Panella motor.. that we are planning on doing some R&D with... but the serious motor will have a carburetor...
