So I finally got a weekend to work on my car instead of the nursery. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) I figured now is the best time to make sure my car is not running before the baby comes so I decided to try out the Vic jr intake again for hood clearance with some new parts I got. Before, the Paxton box stood about 3 inches taller than my old hood so I was running a low rise performer ever since I built the engine. Well, with the new hood I have and a carb hat, I now have 1/2 clearance! Just need to figure out the damn tube going from the Paxton to the carb hat. The one I have for the box is a little short.

Ya, I started sanding the cast texture on the intake down. Going to do a full polish or powder coat. Leaning towards the powder coating. I like the raw cast look but it gets dirty and stains.

I just dropped my Air Gap off at Maas Bros in Livermore to be powder coated. I hate how aluminum intakes get all dirty and yellowed.

It was $155 w/tax. I'll post it up when I get it back. Probably another week or so.

It's cool. You gotta fine tune like a carb but it's all on a touch screen, instead of taking the carb apart all the time. I don't miss those days at all. lol

do you have any hesitation like a carb? Seems like all my carbs always have one little hiccup. Only big carb problem I have is.. heavy traffic like hot august nights, the gas starts to boil in the carb.

The carb hiccup can be tuned out easy on the efi and you won't have the boiling fuel issue. Plus it's suppose compensates for altitude like when you go to Reno. (My car hasn't been to Reno in a looooong time.)

Did some smoothing of the intake with a million different sanding tools. 8 hours later, I think the intake won the battle. I think I'm going to scratch the polish idea and get it powder coated. Here's the results of bringing the sanding up to a green scotchbrite.

I went with the FITech EFI. Just got it a couple of weeks ago and am planning on adding a turbo a little later. But for now, it'll just be NA.

They have a couple of different kits. I got the EFI-4 power adder. The EFI-4 is for NA and runs $995. The power adder is set up for NA, Boost, or NO2 right out of the box and is $1200. I talked to the tech dept before I bought it and asked if the regular EFI-4 could be upgraded later to the power adder and they said it couldn't. The discharge nozzles in the venturis are different and the venturis can't be swapped. Also, the power adder's software is different and allows you full control over the maps with an external laptop which the regular EFI-4 doesn't. You are restricted to using the handheld screen for the regular EFI-4.

Seems like a cool system. Never heard of them before, must be a new company? I'd go for the 8 injector system.

Yeah, it's only a couple of years old. The rumor is it was started by some of the engineers that designed the Professional Products Powerjection system.

Here's a pic of the powdercoated intake. It came out really well. 
Here's the whole setup.
