Click ME

It seems like it might be a good idea I just wonder why he felt the need to have 2 throttle-bodies

Made by a good welder, not a good engineer.

The injector angle is horrible. Perhaps with a boosted application, it will atomize the fuel ok. n/a, that thing is gonna suck nuts. Stay away from it.

Curious why you say that?

On the fuel note, it has been found that in many cases firing the injector "up" the runner will help it atomoze better than firing it with the runner.

NX did some tests using thier shark nozzles and found there was either no difference in output or they may have actually picked up a little by facing the nozzle up stream, and the theory is that because of the resistance to flow it forces teh fuel to atomize.

Re: Anybody catch this thing?

The biggest problem I see is that conventional 23 degree heads are never gonna flow enough to need two TB's. The idea was similiar to a HSR, but utilizing a much more racing oriented lower manifold. - Auction closed at $480, even if you were to throw the plenum away and build one for a single TB, not bad. - Clean job on the smoothed in airfoils too. The injector angle wouldn't be bad for an application needing that much manifold. If you were actually using that much air, you'd probably be running large enough injectors to have a stream instead of a spray of fuel, thus the angle could easily help atomization.

What early vette would have had 28# injectors? Especially being Multecs.
