Edelbrock Pro Flow 2 EFI system for Dodge 360
Good info there Mat. Thanks for the breakdown on EFI.
One quick question, How do you know the injectors are only good to 400 HP?
Back of the envelope calculation. Start at eight 29 lb/hr injectors. That's 232 lb/hr total. Injectors don't like to be held fully open, so aim for having them open 85% of the time at peak power. That's around 197 lb/hr worth of flow left. A typical naturally aspirated motor needs around 0.45 - 0.55 lb/hr of injector flow per horsepower. Divide your flow by 0.5, or multiply it by 2, and you've got a decent estimate of how much horsepower the injectors will flow.
If that won't build in excess of 400 it seems kinda useless?
I'm sure I could order it with different injectors?
It does depend on the motor, but if that's a built stroker, I would get it with different injectors. They're a standard size so larger injectors aren't too hard to find.
Would you mind linking the set up your running?
Thanks again.
I've got a complete build diary on
my blog; the car is quite a hodgepodge. My Dart is using a
MegaSquirt controller. The other parts came from all over the place - Supra Turbo injectors, a Ford 4.6 throttle body, the fuel rail is a 1" square structural aluminum tube, there's an OEM Carter fuel pump on there and an MSD fuel pressure regulator that's actually a Bosch part originally made for an unknown European car. There's a good chance once I get my new turbo install that I'll rip out the cobbled together fuel supply side of things, go with some larger injectors and an SX Performance fuel pump (the guys that build Edelbrock's larger fuel pumps).
I wrote a
tech article for my current employer on how to get the MegaSquirt computer working with stock Mopar ignitions based on my experiences with setting up the ignition on the Dart. One of my other future plans on the Dart is to set up a more powerful, crank triggered ignition.
