Crazy Idea
Ok everyone. It's 330am here in Hawaii & I'm probably half sleeping but I have a crazy & probably stupid idea. Keep in mind I'm new to TBI so forgive me if this makes no sense what so ever or if it's a stupid idea. I was under the impression that airflow might be a drawback with our TBI setups & not neccesarily fuel flow being a problem. What if you somehow jerry-rigged a 4BBL throttle body with just the 2 injectors? Ok let the opinions roll in & I'll probably get some sleep. TBI gurus out there, sorry if this is a stupid idea

actualy with both the 2bbl and 4bbl the fuel flow is what becomes the issue. the reason holly only rates the 900cfm units for 500hp, is due to the limit of the injectors. with 670 CFM of airflow, you should be able to make more than 300hp, but again, the injectors become the limiting factor on the holley 2bbl units again.
