Each injector? Usually run a -6an or -8an to each fuel rail with the regulator downstream of the rails. No fuel starvation and equitable ditribution on each side. The excess air to #7 and #8 is really unavoidable though.

Does anybody have the link to that Corral site? My wifes Aviator is at Lincoln now to have the driver head replaced because of a hot spot in #7 cylinder. I'd really like to find out what actually happened. Thanks

It would probably assist with correct distribution. We use a carb style intake for our nitrous motor.

There was a loooong thread on this site about it, with a link to the Corral thread. I can't find it, it may have been deleted because it got pretty ugly lol. But, the problem was only with the supercharged Cobras, and it is because of the way the motor is designed not enough coolant flows to that cylinder and alot of guys are popping their engines when they drive at top speed for more than a few seconds. Sounds like a different problem than these guys are talking about here with the LS1.

what if u put a wide band 02 on the 7 and 8 primaries and do the tune accrding to those af readings. or jus buy a sequential fuel injection ecu to richen those to cylinders up. i guess a different design of intake, still comnposit, is still waiting to be thought up. what about haveing the 7/8 ports a fraction smaller than the rest to compinsate for the lean condition? i dunno, therees gotta be a couple ways to "fix" it for the fi guys

I wish, I think it is like 1.5 Aussie to 1 USD

But if money is no object, one could:

1- Stuff a huge duration cam on a 106 lsa in an auto and it will purr like a 224/ 112
2- Eliminate #7 & #8 fuel starvation
3- Run some awsome trq and power
4- Kick some major *** at the track.
