Hi David,
I'll try this reply again but I'll keep it short since it ate my last one!
I've got two of your books, Horsepower Vol. I & II.
I've tried several ECU fooling devices but I'm dealing with a computer that is smarter than me!
My belief always was that the major part of fuel efficiency and hp and torque was in the intake design. One of my ideas was to take a constant pressure carb like the SU or a motorcycle carb and adapt it to a V8. That way you should have a torquey engine that gets better mpg than stock by a good margin. But just what size and how many would one require. I would be planning to adapt this to a dual plane intake.
I have tried the EFI way but and scared I might fry the engine. I have a MegaSquirt programmable computer. I am thinking of switching to a carb/carbs again. I've played with the Carter series for some years now but still intrigued by the constant vacuum/pressure design.
What are your thoughts on that? How big and how many?
Blaine
