no, ive never been to the track. i have the stock CFI manifold and computer but on a 350 instead of a 305. runs good other then i cant go over 4000 rpm and the idle goes up and down. i went to the dealer and they said the idle problem will be fixed with K&Ns and will help the upper-end problem. i have ALOT, and i mean ALOT of low-end torque. i get to 60 in about 6.0s without going over 3800 rpms. when i get the upper end problem fixed i think i will get to 60 in about 5.5s. I love the CFI. its not as bad as everyone has been saying. and CFI was not made to make TPI look good. they did it because they wanted the low-end torque. they got the disign from the late 60s early 70s duel carb setup. Hope this helps

Man, that X-Ram setup looks sweet! Too bad there's not that much of a market for it! I wouldn't mind have a CFI car to tinker with, I think there's a lot that could be done with it after putting on the X-Ram!

------------------
Working on:
'84 Z28 LG4 305
Added dual elec fans.
145 MPH IROC Speedo
Building 430 HP 350
using primarily GMPP parts.
Block is in shop!

Awaiting results from all 8 ASE tests.

Starting to look like the Kicker poster child!

i just erased the Future X-ram mod because alot of people say they lose alot of their low-end torque. but the CFI is known for low-end torque. id rather bore my manifold then get the X-ram.
