Honestly, looking at the heads, his are smoother but mine are ported a little more. That said - smoothening goes a long way in maintaining air-velocities. Go La Fiera go!

Thanks Lou!! And thanks to the rest of the crew; fieroguru and blackthree! Thanks for cheering me on

quote Originally posted by pmbrunelle: What kind of injectors are you using? They look well targeted, shooting down low. Do they spray in a thin pencil, with perhaps less atomization/hp, or do they spray a wide fan mist, but with the possible consequence of a larger fuel puddle, and worse response? Are you using Enhanced Acceleration Enrichment (for non-MS folks, this means transient compensation that is based on a wall-wetting model)? It looks like the entry of the intake runners are tapered, so even though you probably don't have trumpets hidden in the plenum, it effectively does the same thing as trumpets. I like it.

The injectors pattern are like a cone more than a fan and their location does both things, atomize better and at the same time they give me
the Wall-Wetting effect. But then I learn I can program the Wall-Wetting in the MS!!
You are also right about the runner shape, they act like a set of trumpets but tuned to take advantage of the induction pressure waves at mid to top end,
So technically is a Tuned Port Tunnel Ram!
I also made the runners SQUARE instead of ROUND to get as much volume and flow as possible.
And Lou Dias hit it on the nail; the head ports are matched to the intake to keep the flow velocity at high RPM\, If I would've made them bigger
the flow would slow and killed the performance.

And I'm glad you like it!

I completely understand your concern in me not reaching that goal, but I'm absolutely sure I can. So, just be patient and wait and don't ruin the expectation for the rest. Just relax Dennis!

I am relaxed and certainly wishing you all the best on reaching your goal. Just believe that it will be an expensive build with a difficult platform on which to reach that goal. Not saying that it can't be done .

Block painted after being received from machine shop and ready for assembly!


Before installing the crank I did some mods to improve oiling at the rods and mains.
I know I could've made that mod better but I did that like a fast job.
I'm working on another crank and it will be much lighter and have much work,
it will be for this block but with a much higher HP goal, same thing; NA.



Crank dropped and ready for torque!

There's more to come, stay tuned!

Here's my attempt at 220+ HP @ 6 - 7+K rpm with a norm asp 2.8 engine. It's in the car waiting for me to complete the paint / body mods, get some dyno data and burn a chip.
Hopefully we'll both meet our goals!
