80a-1 pump
6/71 at 11 over ( makes about 20lbs)
Bird Hat
Power glide

I have never touched injection before so be kind any info much appreciated.

Are You Running Gas Or Alch. It Sounds Like You Have Run This Motor But With Maybe Carbs.

 

Yes I have run it on alcohol with carbs.
Forgot to mention that I only have hat nozzles.

What part of OZ are you in? There are a few guys that could flow your system...Lowe, Fab, Weldwell,

A very basic starting point would be:
8 x 40 nozzles in hat.
60~70% barrel valve leak
.005" feeler gauge under butterflies
idle check valve 4psi
main pill 100

What type of car?

have you measured the 20lbs boost? seems high for only 11% overdrive

I'm in Sydney, I was just after some info to get the car running.
I have 2360lbs Super Sedan.
I have a boost gauge in the car and used a video camera to record a couple of runs.

If you were going to send or take it to QLD i would see Gary Philips,if you dont want to travel or risk sending it take to Fabietti,he is Sydney based,

 

Start setup

I suggest you give Al Farrer a call at Farrer Racing Performance. He can set you up with a good basic tune that wont cost you the world. He is based in Brisbane Qld, he also does stuff in Perth and ships everywhere. His no is 0755 478284. Hope this helps. (His specialty is small block stuff!).

 

Thanks guys for the info. Just one more thing I don't have jets or nozzles in the hat so I have to get them what I was after was a idea of what size jets to get or when the systems flowed will they be able to tell me that?
