Reply to "Turbo Owners"

The eccentric cam throttle setup sounds very easy. I might tackle this one in the future.

I expected the camshaft to be a bit big for street driving as I requested one for race use. I plan to race the car and dont mind dealing with less driveability around town. The cam was a turbo cam albeit a big one. The overlap is 54 degrees so its not as bad as you might think.

The only reason I would be interested in sequential injection is the ability to trim fuel to each cylinder. Im not sure I have optimum air distribution in my motor so it would be nice to be able to trim it out. Electromotive makes a cam sensor that bolts directly into the distributor slot and it runs about 150 bucks. Seems like a reasonable price for the setup.

I would also like to get an 8 channel ego guage. There is one online called a stratomaster tc-2 for 250 with another 250 in thermocouples. It is an aviation guage with with an LCD screen that is completely configureable and displays all 8 cylinders at the same time. Its a bit pricey but far cheaper than any equivalent ones I have seen. There is no better way to catch problems before they cause bigger problems.

Anyhow its time to go eat some turkey. Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday.
