Donnie, Glad you are enjoying my old truck.. I sure do miss it, but i haven't had time to enjoy it anyway.. I know of 9 of my kits that are up and running, thats 50% of what we produced.. Of those there have been a few issues to work through, but we've tackled them as they have popped up. Man I am g...

LN was making them for me.. I can still have them made. They quit carrying them otherwise when I decided not to offer a Pinz engine program.

They did sell a few other sets, Jim ended up with one set.

I believe that the system he bought from me went onto a 712, sounds like he might be outfitting a second truck, a 710...

Erik, I have some spare pieces left over from the EFI kits we did, if you can use them you ca have them..

I've been using these cylinders since 1999, ... They are amazing! Curious as to what skirt clearance and ring gaps you used? did you set ring gaps both at cold and hot temps?? did you use a low tension ring? I'd imagine since those are 95s that you used a Porsche ring pack for Nikisil. Building an e...

alan,
I can easily vary load with use of the dyno's brake system.. The brakes are from a train and can stop the 5,000+ pound rollers from 150 MPH in less than 4 seconds

Alan, lets get some RWHP and AFR data from this puppy on my chassis dyno.. You could get some video of the dyno run that may help illustrate how the FI performs under load at low RPM as you should be able to pull from 800 RPM in 5th gear on the rollers clear to redline.. They only weigh 5,000 pounds...

Alan is correct. SDS will not support a controller that will perform as you desire.

I think that you can achieve what you are looking for with some manipulation of the throttle actuation as it sounds like you are tipping in from idle more quickly than you need to be.

The accel fuel does greatly impact low speed performance as well as manifold pressure value manipulation. The SDS IAC is used only for cold start, thats the only time I have ever found it necessary. Yes. I am guilty of creating things that go fast, anyone can go slow. That said, my truck could easil...

Some of the controllers are variable and they will partially open or close. Others are for cold start only and they shut off and on completely. This is probably what you have.

I am generally not pleased with the IAC on aircooled engines. I have tried them with Motec, Haltech, Lynk, Autronic and multiple times with SDS. The unit on my personal car has been disabled for 5 years and was totally un-necessary. I had lots of issues with inconsistent idle speeds dependent upon a...

There are only two speeds in my world as well and they parallel Herbert's. I drive hard as well... My main goal was to increase cruise speeds on the road and make more drive-ability with adding hill climbing ability on the road. Off road it worked extremely well no matter what throttle body was used...

I didn't see that the first time, but after Alan mentioned it it does make sense...

This throttle body size worked very well in my truck and Herber's Pickle uses the same one and I think Alan will agree that it drives exceptionally well..

Erik, Feel free to post your pics. Glad the system is working out for you.

In total 4 trucks are now running with the system installed. One of them is fully tuned and another is really close. Erik worked through some issues with the kit and also now has his truck on the road but still has a few bugs to work out and a tad more tuning.. The motorcycle throttle bodies are a c...

Thats a good price on Jim's system.

Several of my systems are being installed now and I am sure that pics will make their way here onto the forum.
