I asked by FI guru, Choco and this was his response. They are pretty big injectors. I suspect they are peak and hold (P&H) injectors. At 900 cc/min (divide that by 10.5 for lbs/hr, which is about 85lbs/hr) these injectors will look after a 500HP V8. Refer to my articles in ASR for the formula and ra...

But here's some news to wet your appetite; Moe Boys did a 190MPH in the XA Coupe A 308 Commodore from Port Pirie did a very creditable 183 Leigh Russell and the litt...

There is a radio phone at the homestead, but rates are very expensive. The boys have to finish the re-location of the DLRA camp which should be yesterday and today (Thu...

I just hope they are parked...... Stars: Billy Zane, Pamela Gidley, Ray Wise, Scott Wiper, William Zabka...
