5.0 EFI in the Fila Reply #30 – June 08, 2007, 02:20:41 AM I don't have either. I know it will be better then what I got but how much better? Even a ballpark guess is ok. I was hoping for 200 HP maybe. More is better, but I could live on 200 Quote Selected
5.0 EFI in the Fila Reply #31 – June 08, 2007, 03:00:05 AM Quote from: FordTruckFreeek;152473plus, it's a sight harder to have forced induction on a carb engine, and keep it tuned. :Dits interesting you say that because i was just now looking into my tech articles on http://www.fordmuscle.com but my subscription has long expired.They did that very thing easily. the used teh fuel pump as the main event sensor by locating the little indent you usually see on the top portion of the diaphram. They drilled that out and inserted a nipple fitting. This fitting was ran up to whatever gizmo that activates or diverts the air from non-blower to blower. You guys know what i mean , im not good at that stuff yet.anyway,, as the mechanical fuel pump is chugging away,, a vac pres is detected on the upper half of the mechanical fuel pump. this is used as a ref vac presure or whatever to activate a blower.from that point, a hood is fab'd up that bolts over the carb instead of the traditional air cleaner. the hood looked exactly like the demenions you would see on a TC 2.3 turbo. this was an impressive project to them and if they were impressed, i have to be. these guys at fordmuscle.com dont mess around and arent very biased.So, a carb can be blown or turbo'd.,, i dont see why they cant.

More is better, but I could live on 200i would have to say that with the piece parts you listed,, ill bet everyone will agree that the intake needs more elbow room. the rest looks like you are in for more power. You have to plug in the numbers for the cc rating on the heads and each cylinder.you have to plug in numbers for air flow and intake runner size ect.the basic car math formula can be done based on stock configurations so that might be a good place to start. Nick knows all bout that airflow stuff and theories. Just take advice and run with it.thunderchicken seems to pull car math outta nowhere so maybe he can help or anyone else who has that stuff in memory. Quote Selected
5.0 EFI in the Fila Reply #33 – June 08, 2007, 03:09:23 AM So far, the only thing really new from my current setup is a lower mile short block and the GT 40's. I duno how much if any you can port the intake. I will have someone port the exhaust bumps out of the heads though. The MSD box is on the way too, dizzy is down the road Quote Selected

5.0 EFI in the Fila Reply #35 – June 08, 2007, 10:45:56 AM I don't know why you're determined to use that Mustang intake. A good aftermarket aluminum one can be had for less than $200. And what cam are you planning to use? Not much point in all these superior parts if you're planning to keep the SO cam. Quote Selected

5.0 EFI in the Fila Reply #38 – June 08, 2007, 01:07:45 PM Wow! This one went all over the place.......I myself am partial to EFI because I have more experience with it. When a car don't act right and it's fuel related I have a much better idea what to do to get it right as opposed to carb. Seemed I was always researching with my carbed car and NEVER retaining the information in my head. I just prefer EFI.As far as the Carb Vs. EFI debate, read: http://sbftech.com/index.php?topic=6691.0Also Fila ditch that stock cam and go with something like this for some more get up and go: http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Search/CamDetails.asp?PartNumber=31-255-5You can get it in either roller or flat tappet.

5.0 EFI in the Fila Reply #39 – June 08, 2007, 01:49:56 PM your best bet, go to a performance shop and tell them what you're looking to do. they will help you pick a cam, intake, and everyting else. Quote Selected
