How streetable are down nozzles?
I'm going to buy AFR heads and I'm thinking of having them machine down nozzles in there to put the injector right overtop of the intake valve. I know this is used for sprint car, but how streetable is this?

They won't work very well. Down nozzles are made to run with an Enderly style fuel injection system. They use a barrel valve to bleed off the excess fuel back to the tank. They are designed to run wide open and will be exteremely rich at any other thottle position.

I drove my Vette around without a hood and my Hillborn injection. Mechanical injection squirts fuel all the time so you do have low speed load up.
If you buy the DFI conversion it would be a great setup.

Thats what I wanted to do due with my extra set of Injectors.. I think that those eight Injector stacks would just look way too cool!
