RPRICE,
Thanks for the info and I will check the links you mentioned. Were you ever able to determine why the FI setup created the excess heat as opposed to a carb? My assumption was always that with FI efficiency heat problems would be minimized not magnified. I am also researching running the FI setup on a 351W. I talked to Roush about the motor they are testing right now with an FI setup and was told they have yet to make any final decisions, saying they needed to log more hours on it before finalising any formulas. They speculated the cost for that engine to be somewhere around 14 to 15K.
Thanks for the details on startup, I know I would have gotten ambushed by that one. I'll try to stay in touch with you carrying my sack full of questions if thats ok with you.
Thanks again,
Mark
