DVSF2 Raffle Car news
I talked to Don at Minnesota Classics today who is building the engine for Tony Ripeppi's car. It is a 418 stroker with Edelbrock Victor Jr heads and my intake with an Electromotive TEC 3 engine management system. Don broke the motor in on an engine dyno using a RPM air gap and a 750 Holley before switching to the injection (he wanted to learn the EFI after the motor was a known quantity). Carb made 515HP and 540lb/ft of torque and then he swapped out the intake and made 536HP and 580lb/ft of torque. That's 20+HP and 40lb/ft of torque increase with the stack injection system!!! Don thought that was really good but he was extremely impressed with the throttle response, way better than the carb.
Ed Combs is building the rest of the car for Tony as many of you know. Ed, how about a update on the car's progress?
