<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know that with my 89 5.7 based MAF system, and
almost stock TPI 22# system I'll need to do some work on the air AND fuel
AND control system to let this engine work to its potential, In the
meantime, I have to be sure that the thing wont run out of fuel during long
periods of WOT, at least until I get a MAP conversion underway or until I
do one of the creative MAF solutions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First I thought a restrictor plate between the TB
and plenum, then thought I'd have to experiment with different diameters. Then I
thought a throttle stop maybe. then I thought to use some really dirty filters
(just a joke) ...I just have to make sure theres only 220-240 G/S of air
maximum. what does anyone think? I guess I could even pull the spark back far
enough (flat?) so the thing only makes 85% of its power but they say banging the
pistons too much in the wrong side of the stroke isn't really good. The 22#
injectors are good (with some FP) to like 325 hp- which is fine for now, and
maybe fine for good.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This all may sound strange - what it is is that
I'll have the bottom end installed waay before I have the supporting stuff all
set up, and am curious what the thing will do (E.T., as a study) with (nearly)
stock intake / exhaust parts on a 10.3:1 383. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe the stock intake parts are going to do the
restriction job for me just the way they are ;-?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2>lookin for creative, safe,
effective "use the ECM settings to reduce the power" solutions, or any other
comments.... ECM rooted, of coarse ;-) </FONT></FONT></DIV>
