Well... if you talk to any of the competition drags guys who raced in strict classes in the 70's, they had to find power without boring or using extremely larger cams, etc. So they found power in high flowing their heads. One secret was to develop a ram effect within the manifold into the inlet ports (causing a similar effect as a force fed induction). When i bought the standard efi setup and saw this ridiculous 50mm throttle body, i thought to myself, "how can this pea shooter suck more air than the 4x 40mm inlets on my solex's?". So i ditched the whole setup and sourced myself some efi quad throttle bodies (QTB). The intake on these were huge (too huge actually and i was told that my low compression motor wouldn't accept them at all and that it'll run like a dog). But i begged to differ so i installed it all myself. I match ported the original twin carb manifold to the QTB and matched the inlet side the the gasket as well. The porting was awesome as it was like a trumpet. When i got the Delco tuned, it made 30rwkw more than the carb's and red lined easily to 7000rpm rather than 5400rpm running the carbs. And did i forget to mention how much extra torque there was, farken yeah! The car was not only still drivable but a different beast with very high potential. Mind you the head and block are still standard. I don't have any pics as it's not too pretty under there, as all you'll see is hoses and dirty metal. [Report message to a moderator]
