You run it open i guess.



Or you can have Harrop make it a dual filter inlet.

No doubt. Ever price a Hillborn injection system? You'd better be sitting down when you see what they want for them. Seriously, they're like blower prices.

I wonder how many they've actually sold? I'd like to know who their target market was, because most of us on here wouldn't pay that much for something that didn't add hundreds of hp. Seriously, who would be interested in a setup like that even though it costs as much as some complete Fbody's? Maybe someone who is wanting to build a 1960's LS gasser project, but most of us would rather just use a single 4bbl.

Think of all the R/D they did to get it right. I've read that they make a monster cam behave very good on the street. Too bad every company that makes them prices them way outside what people would spend. Even serious bracket racing teams would probably just opt for a procharger, nitrous, or a turbo... so really, who's forking over the retail price and funding these things???

I've seen in a machine shop a system installed like this installed on a Ford V8. The real trick is geeting a IAC valve to work. All eight intakes need to be connected after the throttle bodies to a common hose that leads to a remote IAC. Without it, the PCM will have no control of idle air.

Im figuring that he probably had the money laying around since it looks like he is also running a dry sump. Probably a track car.
