Default Changing my program a little

Well I decided in the spirt of Rat Fink I would give my car "RATIEST" the true meaning of it's name. I figure the C3 section has many a bad *** ride and the guys here go way out with blowers and flairs. The C2 guys have some pretty sick stuff but you guys are not affraid to cut your cars So I built this gen 6 with the idea of a single carb deal, then one day at my machine shop I seen this jewel tucked away in the corner. It took a lot of work getting the tall deck intake to fit my 9.8 but in the end everything lines up nicely. It's a Kinsler EFI with a Sequential Port FAST ECU. I will be able to control fuel and timing on each cylinder. A few more weeks and it it should be in the car and then I can start hooking up all the spagetti For a few months I picked Jims (427 Hodrod) brain for a good BBC combo. I was not able to follow his exact specs, but I did my best with the funds I had to make this motor run hard. I am sure he will be surprised as he has not seen the changes to my program yet......

That is going to be freeking cool. If Jim is helping it will be a hoot when you get it all sorted out. I have seen him make a few passes and I believe he can steer you in the right direction. Looking forward to seeing pics and videos. Keep us updated on your progress.

That is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooooo cool!!!

I've been looking for a Kinsler (or any brand) that is a sideways crossram setup. Don't want to cut my hood.

Can't wait to see more of your project.

Good luck with it!!
