  7. Great stuff Carl
    You're going to find that your new injector is going to make this thing a whole lot faster! Faster equals more fun! LOL

    When you get to tuning it - if you need any help, let me know. Did you do a leakdown on the spool valve - to set the leakdown - or just manually getting it going. How many lb spring do you have in your idle poppet?

  9. Tell you what Carl - I will get out my fuel injector formulas and do some calculations on nozzles, main jet, etc.. One thing that is a problem is that we have no idea as to what your pump flows. Which version is it - is marked on body as to the size. That may give me enough for a ball-park estimate as to where to start. Also, I can't remember if that is a Hilborn or an Enderle pump??? Having a 'leakdown' gauge setup to set the spool valve is a good idea - otherwise you're really guessing as to how much is going through at idle.

    It seems to me that four .011 nozzles will be way too small. On the FlatCad on gas, we ran eight .026 nozzles and about a .108 pill at 15 lbs of boost (372 cubic inches - 570 HP).

  22. Hey Carl - over the Holidays I've been working on a software application to help with MFI tuning - and associated conversions back/forth to EFI (which is for my own usage). Now there are a lot of simple applications out on the WEB, but they don't have all the stuff I want/need.

    So - I decided to take all the math and write my own application. It is in the early stages, but I think it can help you even as is . . . as it has calculations for things like air density changes -- to automagically calculate the approximate main pill changes to account for how the air changes. Anyway - will package up a version over the weekend and get it to you. This is written for a Microsoft Windows application world - hopefully you have a PC that is running Windows 7 or better? Let me know . . .

    B&S
