I picked up Mac flow path mufflers, flowmaster 2.5" tailpipes, 18" SVE series 3 wheels. Had to switch to reverse offset front control arms for the 18" wheels to clear.... I'm Still waiting for the hydroboost system to arrive.

So I changed things up and ford strokers is building me a Dart 427. I'm having them port match a super victor efi. I'm kinda stuck, not sure what to do about intake. So many options! 90 elbow with throttle body? 4150 throttle body or something like a Holley terminator efi. Anyone have any knowledge on these self tuning systems?

Thanks for the help

Not a specific answer to your question, but in general the self tuning EFI systems have their own stand alone box that holds the "tune", and seem to run pretty well from what I have seen. As far as street driveability goes, they make it really easy, as a tune can easily tune for WOT/racing applications but street scenarios are a lot more challenging to keep controlled.

Thanks for responding I picked up the Holley HP hopefully I won't have any drivability issues.

Slow process, my coyote swap with whipple new edge is taking priority but we got the motor pulled on the foxbody. Damn it's dirty in here... the Scott fab panels are not installed yet just sitting in there.

Nice! I'm a holley efi tuner. You picked the right stand alone. They are fantastic. You will need to find someone to get a tune from, but once its dialed in, it will adapt as you drive. I would run the elbow and an 80mm tb on it. 6066 makes a really nice elbow.
