Why do you need a fridge for peanut butter and jelly?
Good point.
I think I just figured out how I'm going to be able to afford my impending fuel injection . . .
My ultimate goal is to go injected as well, but, not allowed in CPRO so that'll be a move in class, far into the future of course. I REALLY want to put a classic mechanical hilbourn setup on it just because...I've played with EFI on other projects, and it's fun, but I've yet to get to play with a hilbourn mechanical setup. It's a bucket list item. I want velocity stacks out of the hood and a tank full of methanol! It looks cool and smells good and those are the only reasons.
I need to get into touch with that whole, black market human organ trade. I only need one kidney, don't need my testicles at all. I'm pretty sure I could get down the course with only one eye as well. Only need my right foot too so that's the left leg done away with. Wait, are hand controls legal? If I get both legs off getting in and out of the car would probably actually be easier!
You're comment on the heads. I think it's a good design but I think the SAM engine at the engine masters shootout really took the heads as far as they can go. They ported them to the point they leaked water and then ceramic coated them to fix the leaks! That's as far as it's gonna go there! It's a good design but a design that, unusually for chrysler, left little room for porting. I'll be competing in classes where people can go out and buy off the shelf aluminum, billet, cnc ported, wis bang heads. No stock cast iron head is going to keep up with that. The flow numbers sam got are in the range modern sorta ok aftermarket aluminium heads. But again, it leaked, so for something that I would run out on the salt would be reduced in flow as I just couldn't grind the port walls out that thin and expect it to survive.
Intake design and header design are going to be crytical, and the headers design is already looking like it's going to have to be a compromise because there just isn't much in the way of room for headers under the hood. I can't find a way to do it at all in fact without either ditching the torsion bars or cutting holes in the inner fenders. This later option then means the only tires that'll fit and that I can ensure won't end up with a tire hitting them are going to be front runners.
