    EFI conversion on race car

    Car was converted from blow-thru carb to EFI and is almost complete - yes, I have pictures - By next week we should start tuning and getting to run on the dyno.

    The build part is finally finished. Testing on the dyno started Friday, first full pull @7,000rpm with 26 degrees of timing:
    1120 RWHP Est. 1400 at crank - 22.6 lbs. boost - 66 degrees inlet air temp
    We will do the final tuning at the track + add more timing to about 34 degrees. After that is done I will take it back to get a final dyno HP number.

    I am using Holley dominator with Holley digital dash.

    I would put a procharger F-3-136 on if I wanted to go faster.At the end of the 1/4 mile @ 180 mph the marauder is not that stable when the slicks come down .

    Have you ever considered putting a radial on it? Like the 315/60-15 Mickey Thompson ET pro?
