One of my best friends is a mustang guy. We go way back to when he had a 5.0 mustang and I had an IROC with a crrate 350 carbed.

He used the twEECER or whatever it is, and flashed his PCM. He put in a custom Norton camshaft and AFR heads. he was using a cobra intake and scorpion roller rockers. He did a lot of work, got 318 at the rear wheels and ran 11s. HE WAS RUNNING 70PSI AT THE RAILS. everyone else, even ford guys thought he was nuts. But he upped the fuel pressure instead of getting bigger injectors.

There are ways to do things, but the guy from that forum was arguing that other people did not know EFI (was never directed at me). Well, maybe he is only half right. Each make has different variables for their EFI systems. So he should have said ˙ou are clueless about EFI on ford engines" or something like that.

While he may have 'built his own EFI system'..... His lack of knowledge of the physics of the system is glaringly obvious. They ALL work basically the same way, with minor variations in methodology. (such as fuel pressure regulators, and where they are located, etc.) He puts great store in "I can make a 60lb/hr injector work on ANY engine." I would be interested to know if he has ever actually DONE any custom tuning.....

Jopes aka "Mr I built my own EFI system" just tipped his hat to not knowing everything. Someone posted that you can run 300HP on a 19 lb/hr injector (A while before my post) and had documentation along with it.

So Jopes is Dopes.

How is this not a boardwar? Members of this forum posting on the board of another, intentionally stirring the pot.. That's by definition, a boardwar.
