needs two 808's

[vlad01]

Might be a bit hard. This thing is odd fire. Ie. 90, 150, 90, 150 etc.

[jenko]

still easy just place crank angle sensors 30 deg apart and fit leads to suit firing order

[vlad01]

No what I mean is the crank has common pins so tdc for each cylinder is unevenly spaced. That's why you hear several spots in the rpm band where you hear harmonics.

[vlad01]

Actually I think I know what you mean now. Treat it as 2 inline 6 and split by 30 deg? Or would that be 90 deg? Depends on the crank configuration.

[psyolent]

now they just need to get rid of pushrods to lessen the stresses on the valvetrain and it will be supercar territory

[vlad01]

Nope. Pushrod ftw!

Ford did just that and I don't see anyone raving about their dohc v8s.

Also I would piss off that shite manifold with tpi and go dual plenum cross ram or possibly better still quad plenum and port injection. Quite a few hp extra will come from that.
