Colonel where's the twin turbos? J/K You guys are doing a sweet job with that engine! </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That injector sure is mounted up there. Why didnt they bring it down closer to the intake port, or is this a non issue since the motor is meant to run just at WOT? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Maybe they would just obstruct air flow if they were down any further?... The runners are almost vertical

Any real reason for staying with a single TB instead of going with TB per cylinder like the Katech C5-R?

Terry, he said cowl not hood. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Besides, individual TBs are a PITA to actuate and adjust. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
