Re: 427 Assembled
Some work to do this weekend... 30lb Ford Motorsports injectors. These are Bosch Design III's and are actually 35 lbs/hr at our rail pressure. That should be sufficient.
 And the best part is, I have the full injector dynamic characterization for these. Expecting it will improve the light load operation significantly. A nearly new set of Lucas 26 lb'ers are for sale, if anyone is interested.

Nice to know that. Not sure what the problem is w ACCEL in providing that information. Everyone else has it available. |

Re: 427 Assembled
All back together and running good. This is enough injector to support 900 hp so should be sufficient
 Also found out the valve stem seals aren't sealing that well, had some oil behind the intake valves. At least now I know it's not getting in past the rings. So add to the list for upgrades next time the motor comes out. |

Re: 427 Assembled
So I am gathering some ideas for a presentation on this engine at BG this year. Help me get started... what would you guys like to know more about? Trying to make it different/more detailed than the HOTB article I did 3 years ago.
I plan to spend most of the time on the induction system, since that is where the power is made. What else? |

As I recall you also spent a great deal on the valve train and nailing down the cam spec. As Vizard has demonstrated, matching the cam profile w the cylinder head flow is key to making power. I'd be interested in hearing how you went about that and the development of your objectives for the motor. How did that all play into finalizing the configuration you now have. As a sidebar, what challenges did you encounter on tuning this beast? Totally unrelated, you really need to bring that baby up here for the 1/2 mile in Monee. Just asking.
