So this weekend gone I had an interesting conversation with someone about stud girdles and block limits. The owner of this car. I recognized it at a swap meet in my little town far from the city, and spoke to him briefly. (Note: all of the info in these links is pretty old) TURBO V8 CHRYSLER...

Cheap ebay turbos are a relatively recent thing. How long would you estimate that they have been tuning? Did the guys you're talking about give any indication of what specifically the engine wanted which was different? I am interested to know specifics because what you're telling me doesn't...

Bakerlite do you have an IT background? This kind of "if/then" riddle has dev written all over it. (Also, lead69 he wasn't referring to you but is now messing with you for assuming)

I appreciate your engagement, but please don't feel obligated, you certainly don't have to debate with me. We are all sharing ideas and can simply agree on some things, and disagree on others. I agree that we are looking at things from different perspectives but I'm not sure what exactly you...

That certainly is an opinion. thanks for sharing a post dedicated to letting us all know what you think of me. I'm truly flattered you care this much. What's it like living inside such an angry head? You don't have to answer that, I can pretty easily tell by your sunny disposition. Again. You...

Cheers for your valuable contribution. Appreciate you keeping it short. The less you say, the more peaceful these forums tend to be. Take care now :thankyou:

Ok, i'm not exactly sure what you mean by the technology. but you also said a lot of guys are getting it wrong and lunching their engines, that's usually a tuner issue. there are definite pitfalls when it comes to EFI tuning. I'd estimate that 90% of them are caused either bad/missing flow...

This is actually a great comparison between the two technologies. It's not that carbs are bad, it's that EFI has the capability to do so much more, especially in forced induction applications where carburettors really show their limitations.

can you please elaborate on this? I'm not sure how you could've come to this conclusion. EFI can be a comprehensive fuel metering system which can be setup do adjust fuel flow in the tiniest of increments. we're talking variable pressure, variable flow and variable duration down to the 4th...

This is a valid point, a lot of people do make mistakes with EFI because they make assumptions or don't research properly before they get hands on with the laptop. This is a very optimistic approach. But bad tuning isn't really the fault of the system. EFI is more complex than carburettors...

Cheers man. That quote sounded familiar, very, very familiar. I pretty much immediately recognised it as the catch phrase for HP Academy. The company i mentioned earlier in the thread who provide online EFI tuning courses (which are excellent in my opinion) It's literally written all over...

You forgot to mention that you actually said this in an unprovoked confrontational response to a post specifically referring to the advantages of EFI with regard to equal fuel distribution between cylinders. You don't get to just ignore that, context matters. Except I did indeed questioned you...

EFI vs carb in regard to fuel distribution on nitrous is what was being discussed until you said this The problem is you were framing this statement as a "pro-carburettor" argument when the person you were replying to had been specifically talking about the very real and proven advantages EFI...

I already watched it, and he made no mention of carbs vs efi in regard to fuel distribution, which was the subject of the post you took issue with and then started furiously swinging your peen at everyone who disagrees with or even questions you.

Ok but nowhere in that video did Steve talk about how EFI compares to carbs when there's fuel distribution issues at all, which was what @Just Send It was talking about before you started grating on him, like you do with at least one person in every single thread. He was very clearly never...

He explains it better than I can.

I understand what you're saying but still I think learning curve is correct, there's quite a bit of prerequisite knowledge involved in getting started with EFI, and a lot of it isn't intuitive but all the information is available. Sometimes people act as if EFI tuning is some kind of black...

I only have a little experience with tuning an ECU so far, but I think the thing that makes a lot of people balk at EFI on their classic isn't so much the tuning. It's the conversion. The time and expense of putting together a high pressure return-style fuel system, plus building a well...

Absolutely. Not just that, but we're now getting to the point where the kids getting their licenses and buying their first cars today were practically born with a smartphone in their hand. For them, Navigating the user interface of tuning software and inputting data is practically second nature...

I'm not discounting your observations and it's true that the learning curve of EFI is steeper than with a carburetor. There is a lot to learn to get EFI to run. A lot of people make mistakes within initial startup and getting base tune parameters.. It takes some time and knowledge to get a...

As usual you didn't answer a very simple question directed at you. There are certain things which EFI can do which a carburetor can't One of those things is have precision control of fuel metering directly to each individual cylinder. I would imagine that any conversation where Greg Anderson...

You're not one of those "carburettors are superior to EFI" people are you?

There's a group on Facebook called "RWD BOOSTED MOPAR MUSCLE" where quite a few people share details about their high hp small blocks. Many over there are pushing their stock block beyond what is conventionally considered "safe" or "reliable". On the other hand there is also a lot of anecdotal...

I see a bit of stuff about high horsepower 3rd gen Hemi builds. 800hp is kinda the new 500hp. So as much as I love mopar small blocks, and would love to be able to run 800-1000hp in one reliably with forced induction. it seems at a glance like once you start needing to pay $4000 for a block and...

I think it's natural that the discussion would naturally turn from "do the available products work on a SBM?" To "why, or why not?" And then "what has been shown to work best in other applications? and would the same idea work on a SBM?" This is the nature of bench racing. It might not be cost...

That isn't my claim. My only claim is that the following assertion is total bullshit. And the fact that top fuel hemis run five 3/8" bolts per rocker shaft just blatantly proves it. I've noticed an amusing pattern, whenever someone questions your bullshit claims, you consistently try to pull...

We haven't been talking about identical engines. We've been talking about comparing engines of different displacement, but otherwise the same. We've been going back and forth for about 100 posts and you still haven't given an explanation as to why you think X average horsepower at a higher RPM...

11,000hp top fuel hemi engines are marginal at best? Reading you loud and clear. Your opinion is noted. Thank you for sharing.

If I'm being honest.. the more you post, the more sure I am that you are greatly overestimating your own abilities and knowledge. In another thread you were saying you don't even recognize that mopar shaft rockers work well and you got hit with the facts regarding their use in top fuel Hemi...

The conversation evolved fron rat bastid telling me that a lower torque higher rpm engine will always make you go faster than a higher torque lower rpm engine, even if they are equal horsepower. Since cylinder head is the main limiting factor to horsepower, and displacement is the primary...
